Experience Him -give it a try
Moses had an encounter with God where God revealed a personal name. When Moses was at the burning bush, he ask God, “Indeed, when I come to the children of Israel and say to them, ‘The God has sent me to you’ and they say to me, ‘What is His name?’ what shall I say to them?’ (Exodus 3:13) God responded, “I AM WHO I AM.” He was saying, “I am the eternal one. I will be what I will be. He was saying, “I am everything you will need.” During the next forty years, Moses came to know God experientially as Jehovah or Yahweh, the Great I AM. God was everything Moses and Israel needed Him to be. – Experiencing God – Henry T. Blackaby -
Today be reminded of some of the other ways we come to know and experience God and call Him by name:
- my witness (Job 16:19)
- bread of life (John 6:35)
- Comforter in sorrow (Jeremiah 8:18)
- my hope (Psalm 71:5)
- Wonderful Counselor (Isaiah 68:5)
- the strength of my salvation (Psalm 140:7)
- Faithful and True (Revelation 19:11)
- our Father (Isaiah 64:8)
- a sure foundation (Isaiah 28:16)
- our guide (Psalm 48:14)
- my friend (Job 16:20)
- Almighty God (Gen. 17:1)
- God who saves me (Psalm 51:14)
This isn’t homework but if you have the time a great encouragement to the truth that God is all we need.
