And God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM.” And He said, “Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, I AM has sent me to you.” (Exodus 3:14; NKJV)
The personal name of GOD is I AM, a Hebrew verb that means “to be.” GOD is. He is eternal. He is from everlasting to everlasting, the great I AM.
Allow the words of Helen Mallicoat encourage you…
I was regretting the past
and fearing the future.
Suddenly my Lord was speaking:
“My name is I AM…”
He paused.
I waited. He continued,
“When you live in the past
with its mistakes and regrets,
it is hard. I am not there.
My name is not I WAS.
When you live in the future,
with its problems and fears,
it is hard. I am not there.
My name is not I WILL BE.
When you live in the monet,
it is not hard. I am here.
My name is I AM.”
