“At the burning bush when Moses asked God “what is your  name?” God said to Moses, “I am who I am. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: I AM has sent me to you” Exodus 3:14

When the Jews challenged Jesus, “Who do you think you are?” Jesus replied I AM. The Jews knew Jesus was claiming to be the same God that Moses  had met at the burning bush. They considered this blasphemy worthy of death. They picked up stones to stone him, but Jesus slipped away from the temple grounds unharmed. (John 8:54-59)

By calling Himself I AM what is God saying about himself? I am ever present and I am enough.

For me, the following  poem says it best. Read it slowly and put yourself into the poem: It  will give you comfort to face the challenges of each new day.

Jesus said I AM

I am the beginning of all things
the end of all things and in the middle of all things

               I was present at your birth;
               I will be there at the end of your years,
               And through all the days in between.

               I am ever present. I am not only the
               God of your past and your future, but
               I am also the God of your present moments.

              All that I have been and will be, I am to you now.
              You do not have to look at the coming year
              And wonder how you will get through it
              physically, emotionally, mentally or financially
              
               I am your life, your health, your strength and your supply.
               I am your source, your confidence, your victory!

Read this poem several times until you grasp the comfort and wonder of always having this loving God with you who is adequate for every need you have.

I want to do the work of God, but often I feel so inadequate. Then I’m reminded of the words of Jesus:

“Apart from me  you can do nothing I am the Vine, you  are the branches, If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit. John 15:5

And God is able to make all grace abound to you so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.
( 2 Corinthians 9:8)

Being totally dependent upon God is one of the hardest things we Christians have to do in life. We fear the helplessness of it. We want to be in control. Still God cannot work unless we surrender to Him. His way is always to work through weakness.

When we surrender to Him then He can do His work in us and through us.
