A daily devotional through the recorded words Jesus spoke while He walked alongside us. Our website http://alittlewalkwithgod.com.

1. Thanks for joining me today for "A Little Walk with God." I'm your host Richard Agee.
2. It’s not like rotating stock on the shelves. He’s just always there.
3. Scripture
   1. Revelation 1:8
   2. Jesus: I am the Alpha and Omega, who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.
4. Devotional
   1. I was a preacher’s kid growing up.
      1. Opened the doors for every service
      2. Got there at least 30 minutes before everyone else was expected to arrive
      3. Made sure the lights were on, a/c or heating set to the right temperatures, everything ready for the service
   2. After the service, last to leave
      1. Cleaned up any papers/bulletins laying around, left on the pews, reset the thermostats to save energy, turned off the lights, locked the door
      2. First in, last out
   3. Became a habit not just for church but for a lot of things
      1. Work
      2. Meetings
      3. Social gatherings
      4. Almost anything that had a start and end time associated with it
      5. First in and last out became a habit
   4. Jesus told John He was the first and last, the alpha and omega
      1. A lot different than my puny experience
      2. He was around at creation
      3. He was there before there was a way to schedule anything because He was around before time started
      4. He has been around every moment from then until now without skipping a nanosecond
      5. We can’t understand it
      6. Limited timeframe of our existence can’t wrap our minds around it
   5. He will also be here when time disappears and all we know transforms into a new heaven and earth
      1. He will be the omega, the end, the one who is to come
      2. His is the one with an existence with no beginning and no end
      3. Because of His infinity in what we think of as time, Jesus can know our how to help us in every circumstance we face
   6. He is also the Almighty
      1. He proved it to Abraham
      2. birth of Isaac
      3. rescue of Isaac
      4. He proved it to Moses and the Israelites
      5. plagues
      6. exodus
      7. promised land
      8. Exile
      9. He proved it to us
      10. new covenant
      11. crucifixion
      12. resurrection
      13. pentecost
