God names himself the “I am” (see Exodus 3:14). Think about that. He doesn’t say, “I am a ….”
He simply says, “I am who I am.” In other words, there is none compared to God. God is God because he is God. This is both reassuring and intimidating. Reassuring because he sent his Son to save humanity and intimidating because we often proclaim that we are the “I am.” How do we do that? We make judgments about others, break relationships, and elevate our preferences over God’s law.
God is the “I am”—the only Lawgiver, the only King (see James 4:11–12).
APPLICATION
How have you tried to act like God with your friends, spouse, or coworkers? What preferences have you raised above God’s law? Find an area to repent of by acknowledging your sin before God and the person you’ve ruled over. Recognize God as God and allow him (as if he needs to be allowed) to be the “I am” in your life.
God, I acknowledge you as the “I am.” That makes me the “I am not.” Please forgive me for pretending to be you, and help me walk in humility. (Continue praying.)
