Our church young people had a great week camping in the middle of their summer holidays. It was a period away from home making new friends, learning more about the Lord and surviving a severe storm on the first day. Their theme for the week had been the great ‘I AM’s of the Bible, each day taking a different attribute of Jesus. As always seems to happen on the next Sunday a few of them were asked to tell the church about their week and what they had learned. The youngsters were so nervous when standing in front of the church and not sure how to answer the questions put to them.
Between them they mentioned quite a few I Am’s so there wasn’t much to add when it came to the last young girl. Hesitantly she answered, ‘I Am ……..er Everything.’ It raised a smile, but what a great deal of truth in what she said. God is everything and anything to us. Just look at all the names for Him in the Bible, He is a Guide to those who are lost, a Comforter to those who need comfort, a Teacher to those who need teaching. There is no need we have can have that Jesus doesn’t answer. God doesn’t treat us all alike, we are individuals and our needs are individual. The young girl got right, I AM your everything.
