"God Is"

It is amazing how people claim they are free but yet are controlled by their surroundings. Let's think about this. One of the most talked about topics in our day and time is the weather. No matter where people are or the time of year, the weather seems to always come up in conversation. The weather determines many of our outings and daily attire. 

When we are traveling, the terrain determines our travel. There are a lot of things that control our lives that we aren't even aware of. People speak of their freedom yet we aren't as free as we believe. Take for instance you will reap what you sow (Gal. 6:7-8). Heaven rules the lives of people even when people refuse to take note of their actions. We are governed by something or Someone.

When we look at the Lord of heaven and earth, He isn't governed by anything or anyone. The Great I AM doesn't check the weather before acting. He makes the weather! He doesn't reap what He sows. He gives generously to everyone who chooses their direction and sets that spiritual law into place.

There is a reason David called God His Shepherd. There is a reason Moses told the people that the "I AM" sent him. The Shepherd, the I AM, Yaweh is who He is. He controls all things and eventually will have the last say in your eternal destiny. The Almighty is unchanged, ungoverned and uncaused. That's why Jesus taught His disciples that the Father knows our needs before we ask (Matt. 6:8). We are governed. God simply IS!
