(Exodus 3:13-14 NKJV) Then Moses said to God, “Indeed, when I come to the children of Israel and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they say to me, ‘What is His name?’ what shall I say to them?” {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.'”
I am who I am. What an awesome statement God made to Moses!
Moses asked God a question, hoping for an answer that would satisfy his own curiosities, as well as the questions he was sure to get from the Israelites. He said to God, “Who shall I say has sent me?”
Of course Moses was hoping for a clear-cut answer. But I love what God said to Him; “I am who I am”. Now that threw Moses off a bit. So he asked God again, “who shall I say has sent me?”
“I AM”. See, God doesn’t need to explain Himself to anyone. He doesn’t need to explain where He came from, why He does what He does, or How He became who He is. He Just Is.
God Just Is.
When I think about who God is, I think about that aspect of Him a lot. He Just Is. He doesn’t need to be explained. He Just Is. He doesn’t have to answer to anyone or bow to demands or commands. He Just Is.
If we can accept this fact and then trust Him for who He is, how much easier would our lives be? How much less would we stress and worry? How much more faith would we have in Him? How much stronger would we be as His children?
Think about that today and know that God Is Who He Is. And that’s enough.
