So thou shalt say unto the children of Israel

 He that is sending me unto you › Ex 3, 14. Mose asks God for his name, and he answers him: „I am who i’m“ (Ex 3,14). What does that mean? God’s conversation with Moses becomes interesting because Moses already knows who he is talking to. For God had said unto him before, „I am.. The God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of James“ (Ex 3, 6).  In today’s reading, Moses seriously asks what to say to the Israelites when he tells them that God saved them. He doesn’t care who God was in the past, but who He is now. Is he powerful enough to overcome the Egyptian gods and do what he promised? G answered this question: „Tell them I SENT you“. He is not just God, who was the God of the ancestors of the Hebrews. He is their God even today. Furthermore, he remains an effective and powerful God whose presence never fades or disappears. He is a God whose love is permanent. He is eternal, almighty. It is infinite and is everywhere. This answer is a testament to God’s accessibility, understanding, and humility. The pagan gods demand gifts from their worshipers and, even then, do not guarantee that their prayers will be answered. Unlike them, the God of the Hebrews finds his people and meets them. She goes to meet him and offers him salvation and freedom. His love does not depend on what his people offer him. He IS, and what He is straightforward and life-giving: God is love and redemption! Kiss it, God? He is the God of Moses, Abraham, and David. He is the God of Jesus, Joseph, and Mary. However, he is also your God – your Father, breadwinner, redeemer, and protector. During the day, remind yourself that God is the One who is. He who created the earth and the open sky also made you and the paths to follow him. Adore yourself in front of him. Praise him. Love him and trust him. He is and always will be, I AM!
