I was introduced to Him as Savior when I was just a child, but I didn't trust Him to be Lord of my life until I was in my twenties. It wasn't until my father passed away that I truly allowed Him to be Father, and it wasn't until I spent an entire year without a job that I came to know what a Provider He was/is. I've watched Him make the impossible possible in countless situations; that's why I know Him as Way-Maker. It was the loneliest time of my life when He became that Friend-Who-Sticketh-Closer-Than-A-Brother. Then were those years in the darkest place, the place where I slipped into a pit of despair, feeling like I had unknowingly miss-stepped and taken the wrong path, abandoning His perfect plan for my life; that's when He revealed Himself as The-One-Who-Orders-My-Steps. My list could go on-and-on, because the one thing I know is that in every single trial, He is waiting to reveal Himself to me in a whole new way.
I don't pretend to know every aspect of Him. What makes this journey so amazingly interesting is there is no end to Who He is and what He can do (That's why the angels continue to be amazed, singing "Holy! Holy! Holy!"). And I don't know what trial you are enduring today, but what I do know is that in every single trial, attack of the enemy, or situation in which you need a hero, He is waiting for you to call out to Him, to draw near to Him, to place your trust in Him, so that He can reveal Himself to you in a whole new way. Who do you need Him to be today? He is. That's why He refers to Himself as "I am." Need peace? He is. Need healing? He is. Need freedom? He is. Need joy? He is. Need love? He is. Provision? He is. A Savior? He is.
