Name Above All Names

“I AM who I AM.”
I am fascinated by the words “I AM.”
It is probably the smallest statement in the Bible. However, there is a lot of power in the simplicity of it. In Exodus, 3:14, God says to Moses “I AM who I AM.” And He said, “Say this to the people of Israel: ‘I AM has sent me to you”. I took a little deep dive into all the ways God is named.
The Great I AM.
Shepherd of my Soul.
Prince of Peace.
King of Glory.
Alpha and Omega.
Jehovah Jireh.
The Great Physician.
Lord of lords.
Adonai.
The list goes on!
Some days it's hard to grasp that all these “credentials” belong to the God I know, love, and serve. My fickle heart and mind stand in absolute awe that He is the Name above all names. We get to call out to all of these names and our cries make it to His ears! There is no greater comfort than knowing whatever circumstance we are in, He meets every single need. His character outshines in every good, bad, or hard thing. So call out to Him based on any of these “names.” He would love nothing more than to come close and rescue you!

Prayer
Lord, we thank You that at any point we can come and sit before You at Your feet and call on You. We give You all the glory and all the credit for your powerful and mighty ways. I pray, Holy Spirit, that You will cover us today with Your mighty hand of healing, provision, and daily bread. We love You, Lord! We cry out to our Prince of Peace today. Amen!

A warm summer’s night, a weathered hemlock dock, stars so close you believe you can reach out and touch them, the Milky Way, hauntingly a shadowy band of glimmering light against the night sky, a friend to share the majesty of this show and together following satellites and looking for that one which we will watch as it crosses the sky and then disappear. We then time it, knowing it takes about 90 minutes to circle our small earth and then, there it is again. Wow!
