Praise His Name: I AM<\/strong>
\nAnd God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM.” And He said, “Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, ‘I AM has sent me to you.’\u2009”\u00a0 <\/em>Exodus 3:14 (NKJV)<\/p>\n

Today’s Thought:<\/strong>
\nI AM is God’s name showing He always was, always is, and always will be present.
\nLet’s pause to praise Him for who He is and that He is present with us right now. Let’s pause to praise Him for being our I AM.<\/p>\n

Today’s Praise Paus<\/strong>e:
\nToday, Dear God, I pause to praise You, as “I AM”, God who is with me right now, day and night.
\nThe “I AM” who is present in good times and bad to help, comfort, care, guide and provide.
\nI praise You “I AM” for who You are and for what You mean to me.<\/p>\n
