Essence and Experience

Lord, yesterday we talked about light, Your Presence like light, like I am aware of light. But the light changes–I mean, sometimes it is a subtle glow as with fog, and sometimes it blazes; sometimes it is bluer and sometimes it is warmer and golden. But You–You don’t change, You are always the same.

The Nature, the Essence, of Light is not changing. But your perception and experience of that light is different depending on circumstances like atmospheric conditions, or your own angle of view relative to the source. So it is with Me. There are times your circumstances cry out for a Healer, for Jehovah-Rapha. There are seasons when you need Me more as Jehovah-Jireh, your Provider. And what about those times you need wisdom, or discernment, or guidance? Those aren’t simply things I give you, these are integral to Who I Am, to My Very Being. That is why they are among My Names, each one of which reveals a facet of My Nature as the Great I Am. Remember your old song, He I Am; all you need, I Am? Try singing that today, really soaking in the words. It will strengthen and encourage you.

Ok, Lord, thank You. I can recall the chorus but not the verses. I will have to go hunt that up. Thank You.
