The various Hebrew expressions for God, the proper translations of such expressions, etc., can lead to some interesting discussions and debates.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">But, to sum it nicely, God is saying, \u201cI am the One who is\/will be,\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">He is the same God yesterday, today and forever.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">It is this that creates the bedrock for our faith in Him. We never have to worry about Him changing or somehow disappearing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">It just plain won\u2019t happen.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">And this is why the phrase, \u201cI AM WHO I AM\u201d has such an incredibly strong meaning to me.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">It is straight-forward and seemingly to the point, but it is deeper than our minds can even begin to comprehend. The depth of it can\u2019t be expressed in human language.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">So, take heart. You who are weary, worrisome, fretting, fearful and without hope, worry no more. Stop fretting. Do not be afraid. Take heart. And let God put an end to your worries.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">He is able to do abundantly more than we can even imagine. And that is more than enough to assure that He is trustworthy to the end, for you and for me, in everything that we need.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">Pastor Curt &amp; Pastor Ellie<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">Seven Seas Ministries<br \/>\n49 N Lamplighters Walk<br \/>\nHampstead, NC 28443<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">401-439-3780<\/p>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">If you know someone who will enjoy this or be encouraged by it, please feel free to share it with them!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>To have the Bible Verse of The Day delivered to your inbox each day, please\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.mybibleverseoftheday.org\/\" data-slimstat=\"5\">Click Here<\/a>\u00a0and then enter your email address in the box near the upper left corner of the page.<span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Please consider making a\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.mybibleverseoftheday.org\/donate.php\" data-slimstat=\"5\">Donation.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Get our mobile app here:<span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Android:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/goo.gl\/oQ6qa7\" data-slimstat=\"5\">http:\/\/goo.gl\/oQ6qa7<\/a><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Apple:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/apple.co\/2lZdgYy\" data-slimstat=\"5\">http:\/\/apple.co\/2lZdgYy<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Exodus 3:14 (NKJV) 14 And God said to Moses, \u201cI AM WHO I AM.\u201d And He said, \u201cThus you shall say to the children of Israel, \u2018I AM has sent me to you.\u2019 \u201d In the entirety of God\u2019s word, this is one of my favorite lines.
