“Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.”
John 6:35

In a world full of fleeting distractions and changing times, the constancy of God’s nature, is captured in His name, “I AM.”

“I AM” offers profound comfort and stability. It says to me that His majesty and holiness are so great that they are indescribable.

Jesus repeatedly used “I AM” to describe Himself in the gospel of John. Every “I AM” statement of Jesus in the New Testament further cements this promise, showing us the different ways God meets our needs.

Jesus said:

1. I AM the Bread of Life (John 6:35).
2. I AM the Light of the World (John 8:12).
3. I AM the Door (John 10:9).
4. I AM the Good Shepherd (John 10:11).
5. I AM the Resurrection and the Life (John 11:25).
6. I AM the Way, the Truth, and the Life (John 14:6).
7. I AM the True Vine (John 15:1).

The name “I AM,” revealed to Moses at the burning bush, signifies an unchanging and everlasting presence. It reassures us that God remains constant no matter the turbulence in our lives or the chaos in the world.

Think of the times when you felt lost or overwhelmed and how realizing God’s unchangeable nature provided comfort. God’s identity as “I AM” encompasses His eternal presence, not just in the grand scheme of history but in the intimate details of our lives.

As you face today’s challenges, remember “I AM” is with you. His presence is a sanctuary, a place of safety, firmness, and stability. He offers Himself to be the anchor of your soul.

Carry this assurance into your relationships, decisions, and dreams, knowing that when you trust in “I AM,” the eternal God walks with you every step of the way.
