What if..?? God Is.

I have been asking the question alot over the last months.. 'what if...'. What if something happens, or doesn't happen, or doesn't work out, or fit in, or the cat doesn't return, or... the list has gone on and on.

More recently though, every time I have asked the question 'what if..', the quiet steady echo of "God Is" has returned in its place. Wonderfully calming, steadying, grounding.

As I have had more space to think about it over the last few days, it reminded me of one of God's names, 'I AM'. It doesn't really make sense, and yet there it is God's name I AM, in its completeness and fullness, no room for anything or anyone else. It's God who IS.

And looking back to the passage  in Exodus, it was the conversation of Moses with God, with Moses asking too..'What if...'?
Who am I? Who are you? What if...?

Exodus

¹⁴ God said to Moses, “I am who I am. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: ‘I am has sent me to you.’”

¹⁵ God also said to Moses, “Say to the Israelites, ‘The Lord, the God of your fathers—the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob—has sent me to you.’ This is my name forever, the name by which I am to be remembered from generation to generation.
