I AM WHO I AM

Exodus 3:1-22
The Lord called Moses, he said,"Here I am"
God said to Moses, "Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy ground." Then he said, "I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob."
The Lord have see the misery of his people. He come down to rescue them from the hand of the Egyptians and to bring them up out of that land into a good and spacious land, a land flowing with milk and honey.
God said, "I will be with you, and this will be the sign to you that it is I who have sent you."
God said to Moses, "I AM WHO I AM."
God knows that the king of Egypt will not let them go unless a mighty hand compels him. So God will stretch out his hand and strike the Egyptians with all the wonders that God will perform among them. After that, he will let them go. And Moses and Israelite will not go empty-hand.
Moses is actually at Sinai the very place where he will later receive the law, when God calls to him.
Born a Hebrew, brought up an Egyptian, Moses is facing his own crisis of identity, made worse by his people's rejection.
As he wanders the desert, he is halted by the sight of a blazing bush. Is it real? Is it a vision? He turns aside - and God meets him with an astounding commission: 'Be my messenger to Pharaoh: lead my people to freedom.' But the emissary is most reluctant. He raises one objection after another, ad each is countered by God.
Why?
Who am I? This is Moses' dilemma(困境). It goes deeper than 'I am not up to the job.'(我不勝任工作)  And God's response is not 'you are uniquely qualified' - not 'you are' anything - but 'I am'. What gives us identity, what give Moses authority, is God's identity, his presence, 'I will be with you.'
How am I to explain to people who you are? Moses cannot go back simply with a subjective experience. God describes himself more clearly; 'I am' is the living God, from whom all existence derives. And God connects himself to what the people already know; he is no stranger to his people. He is the God of Abraham and the rest, whose stories they know.
The LORD: The capital letters used in most English Bibles indicate the 'personal name' of God in Hebrew 'YHWH', probably pronounced 'Yahweh', traditionally read as 'Jehovah'.
Here I am is my response to the Lord.
God's identity is 'I will be with you.'
How?
Pray in Jesus name and obey God's commands, then God will be with us.
