Our God Has A Name

Good Morning!! Speaking to Moses out of the burning bush, God gave himself a personal name. It has been pronounced "Jehovah" or "Yahweh", but the meaning is unmistakable. God is the great I AM, the eternal, self-existent One. He has always been, and He will always be. He depends on nothing and no one, and He never changes in His essential nature and being. He is not limited by time. He is not the "I was" or the "I will be",...He is always the I AM.

God said to Moses, “I am who I am. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: ‘I am has sent me to you.’”—Exodus 3:14 (NIV)

If you're like every other human being, your life has been anything but stable. Most likely your circumstances have seen many ups and downs, and moved backwards and forwards. You may have regrets about the past, or worries about the future. None of us controls our own life, circumstances, or surroundings. But this same God has enlisted Himself on behalf of His creatures. He is not only an unchanging rock in the middle of a constantly changing world,...He invites you to build your life and love on the stable rock of His character, goodness, and promises.

Build your foundation on the great, and unchanging, I AM,...not in any parts of this fast-sinking world?

Lord, You are our rock, our all in all. You are more than we need in our time of need. Let us always remember to call on You. In the name of Jesus, Amen.

"Being a disciple of Christ means agreeing to take on His priorities, agendas, and missions, as our own."
