This morning’s blog we are going back to the basics. The bottom line.
All through the Bible God reveals Himself to us. However, we get so busy and distracted that we forget to see that He is there.
When the Lord spoke to Moses from the burning bush, He told Moses that he would deliver the Israelites from the bonds of slavery that they were in. God told Moses he wanted him to go to the pharaoh and present him with this message off deliverance. Moses had so many excuses as to why God should chose someone else. Moses asked the Lord what he should tell people qualified him for this task. This was God’s response
“But Moses said to God, “I am not a great man! How can I be the one to go to Pharaoh and lead the Israelites out of Egypt?”
12 God said, “You can do it because I will be with you. This will be the proof that I am sending you: After you lead the people out of Egypt, you will come and worship me on this mountain.”
13 Then Moses said to God, “But if I go to the Israelites and say to them, ‘The God of your ancestors sent me,’ then the people will ask, ‘What is his name?’ What should I tell them?”
14 Then God said to Moses, “Tell them, ‘I Am Who I Am.’ When you go to the Israelites, tell them, ‘I Am’ sent me to you.” 15 And God said, “Tell the Israelites that you were sent by Yahweh, the God of your ancestors—the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, the God of Jacob. This will always be my name. It is how I want the people to remember me from now on.” Exodus 3:11-15 ERV
I Am Who I AM!
I AM is more than enough. God hasn’t changed since He spoke his name to Moses. He is still I AM. Whatever it is we need, God is I AM!
Jesus repeated this name of God when he ministered to the people. He told them I Am the bread of life, the light of the world, the way, the truth, the life, the resurrections and the door. I AM.
“Jesus answered, ‘The fact is, before Abraham was born, I Am.'” John 8:58 ERV
He is still the same today. His word promises that He is the same; yesterday, today and forever. He is still the great I AM and I AM is more than enough.
I AM – I love that God is I AM! He isn’t I was or I will be – but He is always in the present tense, always here, always near.
“10Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.” Psalm 46:10
Today, if we are still; (some days that’s a miracle in itself – finding time to be still) we will see that I AM is here. He’s waiting to be I AM direction, wisdom, peace, joy, love, hope, understanding, merciful, provision, strength, deliverance, salvation, healer.
Jesus came and touched people where they lived and brought answers to their daily problems. Then He told them that He came not just to meet their daily needs but to provide salvation for the spiritual needs as well.
So I encourage you, us, to be still today and know that I AM still IS!
