Exodus 2:23-3:15
"God said to Moses, "I AM WHO I AM.'"
After encountering God, Moses is concerned about how he might effectively communicate to the Israelites. He asks God, "If I come to the Israelites and say to them, 'The God of your ancestors has sent me to you,' and they ask me, 'What is his name?' what shall I say to them?" What is God's response? God simply states, "I AM WHO I AM."
When we communicate with one another we often search for the perfect words, aiming to respond eloquently and effectively through an almost poetic prose. In reality, just as God prompted Moses, all we really need are simple words and basic explanations. Not because we are not capable of articulate speech, but because we do not need to complicate the message. I am who I am. We are who we are.
Have you ever over complicated a conversation?
I am who I am. Amen.
