'I AM WHO I AM' - 'I WILL BE WHAT I WILL BE'

"I will be with you... I am who I am. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: 'I am has sent me to you.'... 'The Lord, the God of your fathers--the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob--has sent me to you.' This is my name forever, the name by which I am to be remembered from generation to generation. Exodus 3:12-15 (NIV) 

 

I was

I am

I will be

 

"I will be with you...

I am who I am...

from generations to generation"

 

The eternal presence of God means many things, like:

 

        - High authority to be obeyed - for older and younger generations.

                - Author of same Standard of ethics and values for all generations.

                - Help in all situations. (Primitive or high tech times)

                - Almighty - Powerful in all the ages. (In Stone Age problems to

  nuclear crisis)

                - Eternal God (The only unchanging being in this ever-changing world)

                - God of History. (God of Egyptians, Israelites, Canaanites, Indians ...

  and of every nation and people group)

 

You see the promise "I will be with you" in the daytime or in the middle of the night that means the same; when you see that when you are happy, or when you are sad, that means the same. We change, our situations change but He never changes, yet He is enough, faithful in each and every situation every day.

 

I have seen a sign in many shops that says "Pay cash today, get credit tomorrow." This is one of the diplomatic ways of the business men to procrastinate the debt and to insist cash payments. My mom used to say that there will be a clock in the hell which reads "Eternity" on the dial. I visualise God having ever shining sign on His desk with these words, "I AM THAT I AM" - it means His etenal presence. Every day God says, 'I AM that I AM' and 'I WILL BE WHAT I WILL BE'
