FROM TODAY’S READING…
“We cannot say, ‘I am who I am.’ We do not have an independent existence. But we alone in the order of things, created in the image of God, can and do say, ‘I am’-something no other earthly creature has ever thought, much less said. No turtle has ever said, ‘I am.’ No golden retriever has such a self-awareness.”
R. Kent Hughes
Exodus 3:13-15 (NLT) But Moses protested, “If I go to the people of Israel and tell them, ‘The God of your ancestors has sent me to you,’ they will ask me, ‘What is his name?’ Then what should I tell them?” God replied to Moses, “I Am Who I Am. Say this to the people of Israel: I Am has sent me to you.” God also said to Moses, “Say this to the people of Israel: Yahweh, the God of your ancestors—the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob—has sent me to you. This is my eternal name, my name to remember for all generations.”
Ecclesiastes 3:11 (NLT) Yet God has made everything beautiful for its own time. He has planted eternity in the human heart, but even so, people cannot see the whole scope of God’s work from beginning to end.
