Come To Know God

I AM WHO I AM.  Exodus 3:14

God reveals himself through what He does.  When God works through us, we get to know Him through that experience.  We also come to know God when he meets our needs.  

How has God revealed who he is to you?  What are some names you have learned about who God is?  Here are some scriptures that describe who God is:  Ps. 68: 5 reveals God is defender of widows, Revelations 19:11 reveals God is faithful and true.  Deut.  4:24 shows God is a consuming fire. Job 16:20 says God is our friend.  In 2 Corinthians 1:3, God is of all comfort.  Psalm 51:14, says God is the one who saves me.  Ephesians 5:23 says that God is the head of the church.  In Exodus 34: 14, God is jealous.   In 1 Timothy 6:15, God is our mediator.  In Psalm 18:2 He is my stronghold.  John 10:11 says that he is my good shepherd.  In 2 Samuel 22:19, He is my support.  The bible reveals so many things about God and who He is.  Can you find some on your own.  I encourage you to dig into the Bible to find out more of who God is.

God revealed himself to Moses as stating, I AM WHO I AM.  God revealed himself to Moses in an intimately and personal way.  When God became flesh and made His dwelling place among us, He revealed himself to His disciples by calling himself: I am the Bread of life, I am the light of the world, I am the gate, I am the good shepherd,  I am the resurrection and the life, I am the way, truth and the life, and I am the true vine.  For the reference on these names read the book of John.  

What names have you come to know God?

How was that name reveal to you?

Dear Heavenly Father, 

Thank you for reveal who you are to us.  Thank you for your names have meaning to us.  Father, I pray that we will take the time to see and know who you are.  I pray that we will see how wonderful you are. 

In Jesus Name 

Amen
