I Am

 

Godsaid to Moses, “I am who I am.” This is what you are to say to theIsraelites: ‘I AM has sent me to you.’ “God also said to Moses, “Sayto the Israelites, ‘The LORD, the God of your fathers—the God of Abraham, theGod of Isaac and the God of Jacob—has sent me to you.’ This is my name forever,the name by which I am to be remembered from generation to generation. Genesis3:14-15

 

Doyou ever feel overwhelmed with what God has called you to do? When Mosesencountered God in the burning bush and God revealed to him his assignment, Moseswas overwhelmed too. He, as I’m sure many of us have done, came up with excusesas to why he couldn’t succeed in his task. I’m sure his fear was close togetting the better of him.

 

Sometimes,we can be overwhelmed by our emotions too. Our feelings somehow find a way tocontrol our thoughts and we lose focus. We don’t feel we can accomplish ourassignment. We make excuses to God. I’ve been reminded lately instead offocusing on what I am, or what I am feeling I need to focus on the I AM. He is everything weneed and will meet every need. He who began a good work in us, will carry it onto completion.

 

Lord,

WhenI am sick, You are my healer.

WhenI am hopeless, You are my hope.

WhenI am unfaithful to You, you still are faithful.

WhenI am enslaved, You set me free.

WhenI am needy, You meet my needs.

WhenI don’t know what to do, You are my wisdom.

WhenI am weak, You are my strength.

WhenI am sad, You are my joy.

WhenI am down, You lift me up.

WhenI am unlovely, You still love me.

WhenI am lost, You find me.

WhenI forget You, You remember me.

WhenI feel friendless, You are my friend.

WhenI feel powerless, You give me the same power you used when You raised Christ.

WhenI fear, You remind me to fear you instead.

WhenI am dirty in my sin, You wash me clean.

WhenI am hungry, You feed me with your Word.

WhenI am thirsty, You let me drink from Living Water.

WhenI feel like quitting, You keep me going.

WhenI feel like there is no way, You are the Way.

WhenI feel like no one notices me, You see me.

WhenI am tired, You give me rest.

WhenI feel like my burden is too much to bear, You remind me your burden is light.

WhenI am falling for Satan’s lies, You remind me of Your Truth.

WhenI am in turmoil, you are my peace.

WhenI feel all alone, You remind me that You are there.

WhenI feel like I am sinking, You remind me you are the Rock I stand on.

WhenI don’t recognize me or know who I am, You know me.

WhenI am accused, You are my defender.

WhenI feel misunderstood, You understand me.

WhenI am in darkness, You shine the Light so that I can see.

WhenI die, You will give me eternal life.

Thankyou for being the great I AM.
