Exodus 6:2-3 God also said to Moses, "I am the Lord. (In the face of Moses' doubts, the Lord reminds him of Who God is. He is the Lord God Jehovah, Mighty God, Creator God, Who is not intimidated nor thwarted by Pharaoh, still a mere man. Today, we need to remember the Lord is not daunted by the situations that seem overwhelming to us, but that He is sovereign even over the seemingly most overwhelming circumstances.) I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac and to Jacob as God Almighty, (As the Lord often does, He reminds Moses and us of His history with us, that He has intervened and spoken into our lives in the past and that that reminder should bring us comfort and renewed trust in Him. Just as He did to Moses, He has appeared to us as El-Shaddai, the Almighty.) but by My Name the Lord I did not make myself fully known to them." (Now, He intends to reveal Himself in the fullness of His power and sovereignty. While He had shown Himself before as Yahweh, He had not shown His people the full spectrum of what His Name I AM means. Today, as then, the Lord chooses to reveal the full impact of what it means for Him to be the Self-Existent One, the very essence of Being. When we then choose today to live in the fullness of that revelation of the Great I AM, the One Who intervenes and interacts with us in every situation we face today, we can rejoice that He holds every concern, every need, every detail of our lives in the very palm of His Hand.)
