God&#8217;s conversation with Moses becomes more interesting because Moses already knows who he is talking to. God had already told him before: &#8220;I am&#8230; God of Abraham, God of Isaac, and God of Jacob&#8221; (Ex 3, 6). In today&#8217;s reading, Moses seriously asks what to say to the Israelites when he tells them that God will save them. He is not so much interested in 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?<\/span><\/h2>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span>God\u00a0 answered this question, &#8220;Tell them I HAVE sent you.&#8221; He is not the God who only &#8220;was&#8221; the God of the ancestors of the Hebrews. He is their God even today. Likewise, he remains an effective and powerful God whose presence never fades or disappears. Furthermore, he is a God whose love is permanent. He is eternal and omnipotent. He is always and everywhere. <\/span><span style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0; padding: 0; text-align: left;\"><strong>T<\/strong>his answer is a testament to God&#8217;s accessibility, understanding, and humility.<\/span><span> The pagan gods demand gifts from their worshipers, and even then, they do not guarantee that their prayers will be answered. Unlike them, the God of the Hebrews finds and meets his people. He goes to meet them and offers them salvation and freedom. His love for them does not depend on what they offer him. He is, and what he is, straightforward and life-giving at the same time: God is love and redemption! <\/span><span style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0; padding: 0; text-align: left;\"><strong>K<\/strong>iss<\/span><span> that 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 &#8211; your Father, breadwinner, redeemer, and protector. During the day, often remind yourself that God is the One who is. He who created the earth and the vast sky also made you and how you are to follow him. Bow to him. Praise him. Love him and trust him. He is and always will be, I AM!<\/span><\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0Moses asks God for His name, and He answers him, &#8220;I am who I am.&#8221;\u00a0What does that mean?
