I Am

He is “I Am,” which means, He is the God of right now. Yesterday He was God, and tomorrow He is God, and it's good to know this, but today I really want to know Him as “I Am,” the God of right now.

One of the names of God is “I Am” (Exodus 3:14).

He is “I Am,” which means, He is the God of right now. Yesterday He was God, and tomorrow He is God, and it’s good to know this, but today I really want to know Him as “I Am,” the God of right now.

I believe that if I know Him as “I Am” I have access to Him in any and every way I need Him… His peace, His grace, His love, His glory, His power… His wisdom – Yeah, I could use that right now.

The cool thing is, right now, at the moment I write this, He is “I Am.” Therefore right now, as I write this, I have access to wisdom… right?

Jesus, let me know you as “I Am”

Amen
