“I AM” the Answer
Today’s Bible reading is Exodus 3 and Revelation 2.
“Come, I will send you to Pharaoh that you may bring my people, the children of Israel, out of Egypt.” This is God’s call to Moses in Exodus 3 and it leaves Moses full of questions. “Why me?” “Who should I say has sent me?”
God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM.” And he said, “Say this to the people of Israel, ‘I AM has sent me to you.'”
Maybe Moses wasn’t the only one with questions. Maybe YOU are full of questions today.
