In keeping with the theme "the name of the Lord is a strong tower" from Prov. 18:10, there is an incident found in John chapter 8 where the Jews were charging Him as being possessed of demons and in verse 53 they issued Him with this challenge: "Are You greater than our father Abraham?...Who do You think You are?" Read it in vs. 53 Look at the response they got from the King of kings and the Lord of lords in vs. 58. "I tell you the truth, before Abraham was ,(now hang on to your hats and fasten your seat belts)......I AM!!!

I AM is eternal...He was telling these louts Before history was ....I AM!! I AM the Divine One, I AM the Eternal One, I AM is God Almighty, and HE LIVES FOREVERMORE, yes He lives forevermore! This is a clear disclosure of revealed truth....that Jesus Christ is GOD!
WHY THEN DO WE WORRY AND FRET ? Why do we get all up tight wondering what tomorrow will bring? or how we are going to get through our struggles? OR HOW WE'RE GOING TO OVERCOME SIN, A HABIT OR WHATEVER ELSE COMES OUR WAY? Why do we fret over our children? over whether or not they will succeed? Peter admonishes us "casting all your care upon Him for He cares for you" 1 Peter,5:7 Let me declare my belief today....Jesus Christ is God and beside Him there is no other...and He declares in Exodus 20:3, "you shall have no other gods before Me." No other gods...He's talking about idols; there are no other gods so it would be foolish to put an idol before Him and worship it, now wouldn't it? I repeat...there are no other gods...He alone is God and He came in the flesh so that He could save us....and He's the great I AM!!! He said to Philip when he had asked Jesus to show them the Father and they would be satisfied, "Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, Show us the Father?" vs. 11 "Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me"John 14:8-10,11. Jesus is the great I AM!!!
You can run to Him in full assurance today that He is Almighty God.

If we could just come to the understanding,that we must give everthing over to the lord.If we do this,Iam sure we could accomplish all of our hopes and needs [ maybe not our wants but our needs.]God knows the difference even when we sometimes don't,so run to the tower and leave everthing at the door.JESUS will never,never,never disappoint you,just trust HIM.

Hi
It does not matter which one of HIS names we use,as long as we remember that He is the ONE GOD and He is waiting for us to give Him all of our cares and worries today.With Him we will not only get through today but we will know that tomorrow is in His hands,and what more could we asked for.
HE IS OUR ALL AND ALL
