He is I AM 25 June 2008

I came across a verse this morning that sunk so deep in my spirit, and I just knew I must share it with you all.
Psalm 9:10 says “Those who know your name trust in you, for you, O Lord, do not abandon those who search for you.”
Our efforts in seeking Him will not be wasted - EVER. God is not going to leave us hanging in our search to know Him and to know Him more intimately.
How would your relationship with Jesus change if you knew that every time you opened your Bible and every time you prayed, He would meet you with exactly what you needed? This verse tells us that as long as we know His name and seek Him, He will be there, for He does not abandon us. Do you know His name? If we could just get a grip on the fact that the Lord is I AM, our prayer and Bible study - our entire lives - would be revolutionized. God doesn’t have to do anything to be trustworthy; He is trustworthy by His very nature. It’s small in comparison, but it’s like I don’t have to do anything to be Caucasian; I am by nature. Nothing I do or don’t do can change my ethnicity, and nothing God does or doesn’t do can change who/what He is. He is trustworthy. He is peace. He is justice. He is redemption. He is hope. He is mercy. He is love - which is so much more than the sort of love we humans understand. He is - period. Do you believe it? Do you know it? Are you living it?
Exactly! I think sometimes we misinterpret His answers because they are not what we expect. The Word says that His ways are greater than our ways. The answers that don’t match what we expect are opportunities for growth.
