On my way home from taking Carrie to preschool I was praising my God. Watching the rain come down, it was beautiful.
Words such as amazing, incredible, great, beautiful came out of my mouth.
Then I thought, these words aren't good enough. They will work, because those are the words we know, but when trying to describe God and who He is, He IS.
God describes God. It sounds weird, doesn't it? God, MY God, his name means all of those things and so many more!
His name is more beautiful, more powerful, more awesome, more....MORE than anything we could come up with.
So perhaps that is one of the reasons why when Moses asks God what he should call him, God responds in this way:
Exodus 3:13-14
Moses said to God, "Suppose I go to the Israelites and say to them, 'The God of your fathers has sent me to you,' and they ask me, 'What is his name?' Then what shall I tell them?"
God said to Moses, "I AM WHO I AM. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: I AM has sent me to you.'"'
Enough said. I AM. The God of your fathers. Need no more explanation.
So God, you are GOD, and I will praise you! |
