There is great comfort in knowing that my God is the great I AM. He needs no backing, no reference, no conformation and any proof required, already exists. Walking into work this morning was fantastic as usual and gave me time to ponder and look at the trees, the grass the sky and all of creation. As like most times, questions pop into my head probably like most people. Like how are the trees so diverse? Or why is some grass bluer than others? Of course all these questions are unanswerable and lead to the large question of who created it in the first place?
I never understood how someone could ask themselves about creation and stop there without asking about where it all came from? As I believe in God the answer is clear, concise and definitive. I guess that is what the bible means by building your house on a rock, once you know your origin everything else falls in to place and the question why is just a matter of study. I know I was created to commune with the Lord, my life span is just the exercise of that reality. God’s word; the bible, is there to guide and teach me how best to go about that exercise.
And as I study about the Great I AM, I find comfort, peace, stability and purpose. I thank God for his saving grace and his words, which he left for us to discover and share. Knowing the mind of God is easy, just open the word.
