And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them? And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you. Exodus 3:13,14 KJV
What do you take the King for? The King, the Final Authority! This reminds me of a traditional Yoruba (South West Nigerian peoples) song: Ki len f'oba pe, oba o oba alase, oba! The translation is the first sentence of this paragraph! If we take the trouble to get closer to God and come to know Him, we would be in great awe of Him! The I AM that I AM. Just imagine how Moses would have felt; with such an introduction to the God of the whole universe Who related with Moses as a close friend. Especially when Moses knew that others did not have such a privilege at all! Tell somebody the Great I AM is with you and see how they respond?! Father, please Reveal Yourself unto us as only You Can; so that we can in turn introduce You to other people, in Jesus' Name. Amen!!!
I am the LORD, and there is no other; apart from me there is no God. I will strengthen you, though you have not acknowledged me, so that from the rising of the sun to the place of its setting men may know there is none besides me. I am the LORD, and there is no other. I form the light and create darkness, I bring prosperity and create disaster; I, the LORD, do all these things.
Isaiah 45:5-7 NIV
Whether you want to believe this or not, this is Who the Lord our God IS! He is the Lord; and there is no other like Him anywhere else! You may choose not to acknowledge Him; that will never change Who He IS! He forms darkness and creates light; He Causes both prosperity and disaster! He is the Lord! If you accept Him as your Head and appease Him appropriately in living to please Him, you will be greatly Blessed. This is the God I desire to know and be known by. Father, Help us to draw near to You so You Can draw near to us too in Jesus' Name. Amen!!!
