I AM

SCRIPTURE
Ex. 3:14 ¶ 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.’” NIV

OBSERVATION
God had just spoken to Moses and told him that He was going to use him to deliver Israel from the oppression of the Egyptians. Moses was surprised and even shocked because this seemed impossible. To this proposal, Moses, asked: Who am I that you should send me? God didn’t answer that question but did introduce Himself as the great “I AM” He was trying to convey to Moses that the important thing isn’t who man is are but who God is that counts.

APPLICATION
The mission doesn’t depend upon who man is or what man can do. It depends upon the zeal of the Lord and His strength. (Isaiah 9:7) God is calling you and me to help people who are in need of deliverance. You may say that I AM not ready or I AM not educated enough or I AM not qualified in some other way but remember it is not who you are but who He “IS” that counts. He is all you need. Availability is more important than your ability.

PRAYER
Lord, lead to my divine appointment and show me how to help that person in need.
