Bible Verse of The Day – 2-18-22

Exodus 3:14 (NKJV) 14 And God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM.” And He said, “Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, ‘I AM has sent me to you.’ ”

In the entirety of God’s word, this is one of my favorite lines.

Why?

Because it is God showing His sovereignty and His “absoluteness” in one short phrase; I AM WHO I AM.

He is declaring His self-existence and His eternal nature; He needs nobody to prove His existence, and He is going nowhere, ever.

There is a lot of “background stuff” regarding the words, I AM WHO I AM. The various Hebrew expressions for God, the proper translations of such expressions, etc., can lead to some interesting discussions and debates.

But, to sum it nicely, God is saying, “I am the One who is/will be,”.

He is the same God yesterday, today and forever.

It is this that creates the bedrock for our faith in Him. We never have to worry about Him changing or somehow disappearing.

It just plain won’t happen.

And this is why the phrase, “I AM WHO I AM” has such an incredibly strong meaning to me.

It is straight-forward and seemingly to the point, but it is deeper than our minds can even begin to comprehend. The depth of it can’t be expressed in human language.

So, take heart. You who are weary, worrisome, fretting, fearful and without hope, worry no more. Stop fretting. Do not be afraid. Take heart. And let God put an end to your worries.

He is able to do abundantly more than we can even imagine. And that is more than enough to assure that He is trustworthy to the end, for you and for me, in everything that we need.
