Because:
1-He is the alpha and the omega; the beginning and the end. He has it all covered. He has figured it all out.
2-He is omnipresent, omnipotent, omniscience, omnibenevolence. He is everywhere at the same time; He sees it all. All things are possible with Him. He knows it all; He sees it all. He is All-Loving God; because He is Love. He is the epitome of Love.
3-He is the ancient of days. He has seen it all. He is the Rock of Ages.
4-He is The LORD; and besides (apart from) Him, there is none. No one to run to except Him.
5-He is The KING of Kings, The LORD of Lords. There is none above Him. All are answerable to Him.
6-He is the bright morning star. He is the giver of Light. Without Him, all is darkness. He refreshes us, renews us. Behold! a new and a fresh beginning.
7-He is the giver of Life. Without Him, there is death (spiritual death). The second death.
8-He is the one with the authority/the key to allow one to enter into Heaven for everlasting/eternal life. The Repentant. The Holy. The Righteous. The Wise
He is also the one with the authority/the key to throw one into hell (and the lake of fire). The unrepentant. The foolish.
But He has given mankind the choice to choose whom to serve and to worship.
SHALOM!!!
Things may at times be tough, rough, deplorable. Stay calm and focused on The LORD. He will make a way where there seems to be no way.
Things may at times be “good”, easy, marvelous. Stay grounded on The LORD, knowing that He is the giver of all.
SHALOM!!!

In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.”’

Precious Jesus,
I acknowledge today that you are LORD and Savior of all mankind,
and today I have recognized my shortfall,
I Repent and turn away from all Sin.
Please cover me with your Precious Blood,
and establish your Word in my life,
that I may be found in Righteousness and Holiness
and write my name in your Book of Life
and baptize me with the power of the Holy Spirit
in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.
AMEN.
Your Brother in Christ Jesus, and a Shepherd of The LORD,
