Verse(s): Then Moses said to God, “If I come to the people of Israel and say to them, `The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they ask me, `What is his name?’ what shall I say to them?” God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM.” And he said, “Say this to the people of Israel, `I AM has sent me to you.'” — Exodus 3:13-14
Reflection: We are awash in a sea of moral ambiguity today. The Supreme Court has handed down two decisions that leave many people scratching their heads and wondering what is going on in this country. It has recently been discovered that Planned Parenthood has been selling the body parts of unborn babies.
All of this can be overwhelming. But our verse today lets us know that we have someone we can trust. When Moses asked “Um… who should I say is sending me to this big powerful leader of a nation?” God said, “Tell them I AM WHO I AM sent you.”
God is. He always has been the perfection of justice, love, grace and mercy. He is the same perfection that He has always been. He will always be that same perfection. We can trust in Him, the bedrock, the ground of our being.
Faith Challenge: Armed with the knowledge that nothing can shake us because our bedrock is the unchanging, unmovable God of the ages, let us pray for our nation, that it might return to Him.
