Hello Everybody! I wanted to encourage you with this little devotional. I trust that we are all hearing wonderful things from God. My prayer for you is that you prosper just as your soul prospers, and the God will supply you with all of your needs, particularly the need to hear His voice!
• Who is God?
In Exodus 3, the Lord started the dialogue by using a burning bush to get Moses’ attention (v. 2); then He introduced Himself as the God of his forefathers. (v. 6) No less than four times in this passage did God reiterate His identity. He knew that Moses would be unable to take even the first step of faith until he knew the One with whom he was speaking. Likewise, we cannot wholly give ourselves over to God until we first come to know Him in Jesus Christ.
• Who am I?
Once Moses knew who God was, his next question established a sharp contrast, as if to say, “Okay, I know who You are, but who am
I
?” (Exodus 3:11). Isn’t it wonderful that the Lord answered Moses’ question with a promise? In verse 12, He essentially replied, “I will tell you who you are — you are the one whom I am with.” Here, God gave Moses’ life significance based not in the man’s deeds, but in God’s own glory. Now, that’s a noteworthy life!
In verse 14, God says, “I am that I am” (KJV). God
is “that” everything “that” we need Him to be. We need guidance; He is that! We need healing; He is that! We need love; He is that! We need… He is that too!

BLESSINGS!
