"I Just Want You To Know WHO I AM"



judges10:6

In my morning devotion, as I opened my Bible, I was led right away to this verse: Judges 10:6. Immediately, all the thoughts and questions about Who GOD IS, came rushing into my mind. I realize, and sad to say, this is how most people, even Christians, see GOD. The Lord JESUS asked  HIS Disciples, "WHO do you think I AM?". Only Peter, under the anointing of The Holy Spirit revealed, "YOU ARE The Christ, The SON OF THE LIVING GOD." This account is recorded in Matthew 16:13–20, Mark 8:27–30, and Luke 9:18–21. 
It's the same question our Lord JESUS asks each of us individually.
"WHO do you think I AM, Valerio?"
or
"WHO do you think I AM, Ginevra?"
or
"WHO do you think I AM, Leonardo?"
Do you see HIM as an angry, punishing, exacting GOD?
Before extracting this verse from the rest of the context (which reflects the anger of GOD over Israel's misconduct regarding their relationship with The GOD Of Israel), we would do best to consider the principle by which GOD has always related to the Jewish people then, and consequently to you and me now.
You must see GOD consumed in everlasting love. You can see this in how HE designed nature, animals, and the universe. Not one of them disobeyed, except the kind HE made after HIS Own Image. How it must have broken HIS Heart - - (don't react negatively) Yes, GOD has a Soul, HE HAS feelings too, and not only HIS creations. But HE IS Love, Wisdom, Power, and Grace all rolled into One, Holy Trinity, from everlasting to everlasting.
HE has established physical and spiritual laws that govern our earthly existence, even for our own good.
Erase, erase, delete, delete from your finite mind an angry God. HE IS not mad at you anymore. HE Has forever settled that in John 3:16
"For GOD SO Loved the world, that HE Gave HIS Only Begotten SON, that whoever believes in HIM should not perish but have eternal Life."
HE Has made everything new, (Isaiah 43:19, Rev. 21:5) in HIS Own Love, Wisdom, Power and Grace in our Lord JESUS Christ. If you haven't got your own personal relationship with This Loving GOD, may I invite you to start One?
