The Lord Be With You Today!
Exodus 3:14a
God said to Moses, "I am who I am."
(Here is the Lord's powerful response to Moses' question
about who God is and what God's Name is.
While we often casually bandy about the name God,
in truth His Name is beyond human comprehension.
Outside of time and space and matter, completely self-existent,
the Lord reveals to Moses His Name
using words that best convey in human terms
and what can best be understood by human beings.
His Name is the essential essence of being,
complete and whole in Himself, embodying self,
as opposed to an idol which is an idea only
or as opposed to other living things that have a beginning and an ending.
He is real, outside of time, eternal,
and a completely and utterly independent existence, a self-existent one.
He is the I AM WHO IS SELF-SUFFICIENT,
I AM HE WHO IS,
I WILL BE WHAT I AM,
I AM WHAT I WILL BE, I WILL BE WHAT I WILL BE, I AM THAT WHICH I AM.
Inscrutable, mysterious, unknowable, and beyond our knowing,
yet this God Whose Name we can't understand makes Himself knowable
and declares He is all that we need,
that He is all that we need from Him,
and that He is all that we could ever need.
He is more than sufficient, more than adequate, more than able.)
May the Lord richly bless you this day!
