The Lord, the Lord, a God merciful and gracious,
slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness,
keeping steadfast love for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin,
but who will by no means clear the guilty,
visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children and the children's children
to the third and the fourth generations.
This is the God who identified Himself to Moses at the burning bush with the name I AM WHO I AM. Say this to the people of Israel, "I AM has sent me to you."
I AM . . . . self-existent God, content within the Trinity, from everlasting to everlasting He is God.
This name, rendered Jehovah, is the one name of God not attached to His works, declaring simply who He is, and that He is, completely independent of His created works. While the ancient peoples (and today's peoples for that matter) had many different Elohim, gods, this Jehovah is the only true Elohim. He is the one true and holy God.
He is the God who is personal to His creation. He spoke with Adam and Eve, and walked in Eden with them.
This is God, our Elohim.
Worship Him this day. And be glad that He is your God.
