Christy Nockels - Waiting Here For You.

Journey of Faith: The Great I Am


" And God says to Moses, "I am who I am"

Exodus 3:14 "

On Monday, one of my colleagues was sharing about her devotion " The Great I Am". I always wondered God meant when He told Moses to tell the Israelite, "I am who I am." Yeah, God, You are who You say You are. What never really occurred to me was how many times "I AM" appeared in the bible. It's really amazing.

Following context taken from Joseph Prince:

Do you need healing? He says, “I am the Lord who heals you. (Exodus 15:26) 

Are you groping in the dark, not knowing what to do? He says, “I am the light of the world. (John 8:12) 
Are you looking for a way out of a bad situation? He says, “I am your deliverer. I will reach down from on high, take hold of your hand and draw you out of the deep waters.” (Psalm 18:2, 16)
Are you wondering if there is more to life than merely existing from day to day? He says, “I am the resurrection and the life. (John 11:25) I came to give you life. And where there is life, there cannot be death. You will have life and life more abundantly.” (John 10:10)
Are you fearful of what is ahead of you? He says, “I am the good shepherd (John 10:11), who leads you to pastures of tender, green grass and waters of rest. You will not suffer lack.” (Psalm 23:1–3)
Are you confused by the opinions and reports of man? He says, “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last. (Revelation 1:11) I have the final word in your life. The doctors do not have the final word. The experts do not have the final word. I have the first word and the last word in your situation.”
My friend, do not be fearful of the problems you face. The great I Am declares to you, “Fear not! For I am to you what you need Me to be!”
Thought For The Day
God declares to you, “I am to you what you need Me to be.”

Wow! After she read this, I was like, "Yeah, God, You have always been who I wanted You to be for me." When I was grieving, You were embraced Your arms around me. When I was sad, You sent someone to pray for me. When I was struggling at work, You were my strength and my song.

Isn't it simply amazing? God is always there for us, it's just how aware do we want to be of Him and of course of how much we choose to surrender to Him. As the saying goes, it takes two hands to clap. It works the same way here too, as we surrender, God will be who we want Him to be. He will always be the GREAT I AM for us.


Love,
