And God said unto Moses, " I AM THAT I AM: and He said, Thus shall you say unto the Children of Israel, I AM has sent me unto you." EX. 3:14 (KJV). The name I AM translates : I was, I am , and I shall always continue to be. This last Sunday our worship service started with a short video about The Great I AM. He is The Beginning and The End; He is everything. I had been told this all of my life; great thought. Then the reality started to set in. So often we know something, but it hasn't settled into our spirit. It is just head knowledge. We know about how great God is but we don't experience it in life. The Lord gave me a simple example, because I am a simple man. It is the fall of the year, all the bright colors, the leaves falling, a slight breeze, beautiful day. I was enjoying a coffee with my friend Chance. Looking at the leaves falling the thought came to my mind, I know every leaf on that tree! I said, who? Immediately I remembered Sunday service I AM THAT I AM. I reveled again at how big our God is. He know every leaf, when it will fall, where it will fall. That's Awesome. I feel that God wants us to understand how big he is, and how small we need to become. He knows every need we have! But seek you first the Kingdom of God, and His Righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. MATTHEW 6:33 (KJV). Sometimes we forget the part about the righteousness! Jesus is our Righteousness. Everything that I need can be found only in Him, and what He did for me on the Cross. We don't have a problem seeking His kingdom, but His righteousness we do not seek. We want the benefits, but don't always want to submit to his Lordship. As I was watching the leaves falling, some landed on my car. I thought to myself, I just washed the car yesterday! Now it's covered in dust, leaves, and rain drops. Just like me: cleansed by the blood, then sin makes me dirty again. So I go once more to the Living Water and it washes me, and shows me the dirty spots, and helps me through life. This is how his Lordship works.
