You will notice in today’s poem (written by Rose Hill’s brother, Everett, as he reflected on Psalm 46) an oft-repeated phrase, “I am”. This is not only the title and name by which God introduced Himself to Moses and the people of Israel in Exodus 3:14, but it was and remains a present-tense statement for all people that right now He is everything He ever has been, and everything He ever will be, saying in Malachi 3:6, “I am the Lord, I do not change.” As He has done He will do; what He has promised He will perform. Trust Him as the ever -present God who is always with His people (see Matthew 28:20).
I Am
-By Everett Myer
Be still
Chill
Choose not to fear
For I AM here
I AM
I just AM
I AM always with you
I inhabit all life’s events
I do not cause evil
But when it happens
I AM here
I hate evil
But it doesn’t scare me
The evildoer cannot escape Me
The godly are never abandoned
I AM aware
Of the most insignificant hurt
As well as the most overwhelming tragedy
You are My precious child
I AM your provider
Your protector
your Director
Your comforter
I AM
Love
Truth
Beauty
Light
Living water
Bread of life
I AM the source of your very being
I AM
Your creator
Your sustainer
I AM the sustainer of ALL creation
I AM above all, yet in all
If you seek me you will find me
I AM your peace
Your only hope for True peace
Choose to trust me
Choose not to fear
Give up striving
Give up self-effort
Give me your unsolvable life puzzles
Watch me work
From beginning to end
For I am the beginning and the end
The end.
