I have seen it in others.  I have seen it in myself.  God grants success in a situation and we come to believe that the means he used is sufficient for every day.

So we contrive a framework to put his means on display.  We say,  “This is what is prescribed for every condition.”   Thus the I AM is placed in a tiny box in a tiny room for tiny people to worship.

How easily we forget the meaning of his name.  He is not I WAS, though he was there.  He is not I WILL BE, though his promises are sure and dependable.  He is I AM.

He alone knows the remedy for every moment.  It is pompous and lazy of us to ascribe to Him the remedy for a moment past. 

There is no faith needed for what is already known.  But he has called us to be a people of faith.  Let us rise up and join him in the now.
