As Christians, we need to remember
that God is not known as the great I Was, but as the great I AM
(Exod.3:14). The practical meaning of this truth is that we should not
live in the past with its regrets and mistakes. Rather, we should
emphasize the present with its opportunities and challenges. As the
great I AM, God calls us to claim the promise of each new day and to
live it fully for him.
