In response, Moses said to God, \u201cSuppose I go to the Israelites and say to them, \u2018The God of your fathers has sent me to you,\u2019 and they ask me, \u2018What is his name?\u2019 Then what shall I tell them?\u201d (Exodus 3:13).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">God said to Moses, \u201cI AM WHO I AM. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: \u2018I AM has sent me to you\u2019\u201d (Exodus 3:14).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">The phrase translated \u201cI am who I am\u201d in Hebrew is\u00a0<em>ehyeh asher ehyeh<\/em>. The word\u00a0<em>ehyeh<\/em>\u00a0is the first person common singular of the verb\u00a0<em>to be<\/em>. It would be used in any number of normal situations: \u201cI am watching the sheep,\u201d \u201cI am walking on the road,\u201d or \u201cI am his father.\u201d However, when used as a stand-alone description,\u00a0<em>I AM<\/em>\u00a0is the ultimate statement of self-sufficiency, self-existence, and immediate presence. God\u2019s existence is not contingent upon anyone else. His plans are not contingent upon any circumstances. He promises that He will be what He will be; that is, He will be the eternally constant God. He stands, ever-present and unchangeable, completely sufficient in Himself to do what He wills to do and to accomplish what He wills to accomplish.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">When God identified Himself as I AM WHO I AM, He stated that, no matter when or where, He is there. It is similar to the New Testament expression in\u00a0Revelation 1:8, \u201c\u2018I am the Alpha and the Omega,\u2019 says the Lord God, \u2018who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.\u2019\u201d This is true of Him for all time, but it would have been especially appropriate for a message in Moses\u2019 day to a people in slavery and who could see no way out. I AM was promising to free them, and they could count on Him!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Moses and Aaron delivered the message to Pharaoh: \u201cThis is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: \u2018Let my people go, so that they may hold a festival to me in the wilderness.\u2019\u201d Pharaoh replied, \u201cWho is the LORD, that I should obey him and let Israel go? I do not know the LORD and I will not let Israel go\u201d (Exodus 5:1\u20132).<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Pharaoh stood in opposition to the LORD. Pharaoh was not willing to concede that there was a power higher than himself. He was not willing to yield his plans to the One who was all-powerful and all-sufficient. In essence, Pharaoh was saying \u201cI am who I am, and therefore I will not yield to another.\u201d This seems to be the besetting sin of humanity. God is \u201cThe Great I AM,\u201d but we continually want to be our own \u201cI AM.\u201d We make plans and determine that we will fulfill them no matter what. Even evidence to the contrary does not readily convince us of our weakness and contingency.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">One of Frank Sinatra\u2019s signature songs was \u201cI Did It My Way.\u201d The final lines of the song, written by Paul Anka, express a common refrain of mankind:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">For what is a man, what has he got?<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">If not himself, then he has naught<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">To say the things he truly feels<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">And not the words of one who kneels<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">The record shows I took the blows<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">And did it my way.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Likewise, the final stanza of the poem \u201cInvictus\u201d by William Ernest Henley expresses much the same sentiment:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">It matters not how strait the gate,<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">How charged with punishments the scroll,<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">I am the master of my fate,<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">I am the captain of my soul.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">God is the only One who can accurately describe Himself as \u201cI AM.\u201d Jesus claimed the title I AM for Himself in\u00a0John 8:58. For the rest of us, \u201cI am\u201d is a false claim to self-sufficiency. We are not eternally constant or ever-present. Our only hope is to abandon claims of our own sovereignty and sufficiency and cast ourselves upon the mercy of I AM. \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px;
