Translation by the Spirit of God

As Nick was walking on the road, I was pondering about God.  I remember, when God appeared to Moses and asked Moses to go talk to Pharaoh,  Moses asked God.  "Indeed, when I come to the children of Israel and say to them, 'The God of our fathers has sent me to you,' and they say to me, 'What is His name?' what shall I say to them?" "Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, "I AM WHO I AM." And He said, "Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, 'I AM has sent me to you.'" (Ex 3:13)

I tried to understand God's name; so I said to myself.  I AM Who I AM. Hmmm!  Even in Spanish I could not get it.  "Yo Soy El Que Soy"  Hmmmm, once again, it did not make any sense in my head.  "I AM WHO I AM" -- What does that mean?

So I said to God: This does not make any sense in my head, how do I translate that? He said to me....

"You do not translate it in your head.  You translate my name in your time of need.

I AM your Peace, 
I AM your Shield of Protection
I AM your Provider.
I AM your Rock, 
I AM the One Who Heals you, 
I AM your Good Shepherd
I AM your friend. 
I AM the One Who Loves you.

"So whatever your need is.... I supply it....That's who I AM"

In Isaiah 41:13 we read. - "For I am the Lord, your God, who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, do not fear I will help you."   Wow!  What an incredible God we serve.  Amazing!
