I AM WHO I AM

The challenge for March:

Pray the Names of God, or His attributes, for 30 days. 

Then Moses said to God, "Behold, I am going to the sons of Israel, and I will say to them, 'The God of your fathers has sent me to you.' Now they may say to me, 'What is His name?' What shall I say to them?" God said to Moses, "I AM WHO I AM"; and He said, "Thus you shall say to the sons of Israel, 'I AM has sent me to you.'" God, furthermore, said to Moses, "Thus you shall say to the sons of Israel, 'The LORD, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you.' This is My name forever, and this is My memorial-name to all generations. Exodus 3:13-15

God is Jehovah. The name YHWH, Yahweh or Jehovah, was too sacred or holy for the early Jews to speak out loud so the pronunciation was lost for some time…so the vowels used may not actually represent the original name that God gave Himself. Jehovah means “to be,” “to exist” or “to become known” telling us that our God is one who reveals Himself continually or unceasingly.  The best response from us—when God reveals Himself—is for us to fall on our knees in fear and awe of the One who possesses all authority.  

RSVP: Jesus is God. The Son of God. How will you respond to Him today as He reveals Himself to you when you pray and study?

Prayer~ Jesus, show me more of Yourself today. You were there in the burning bush speaking with Moses. As You walked on earth and taught Your disciples, You said…I am the Son of God…I am the Good Shepherd…I am the Light of the World…I am the door…I am the Bread of Life…I am the resurrection and the life. I praise You and I believe that You ARE God—Jehovah—the great I AM.
