Psalm 90:2 (NKJV) Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever You had formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God.
It is difficult to understand an infinite God with our finite minds. However, it will help us to understand the omnipotence and the existence of God by looking at the mountains which existed before we were born.
Genesis 1:1 (KNJV) In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
God is not a created being because He existed well before creation. While mankind is finite, God is infinite—present at the beginning and the end. He is the creator of heaven and earth, from everlasting to everlasting. Present at the time of creation, He is also present with us now and will be present forever. As we look at the mountains and the sea, we marvel at His power and greatness, and are reminded that someone greater has created them.
Exodus 3:14 （NKJV) And God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM.” And He said, “Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, ‘I AM has sent me to you.’”
He is also the great I AM. This name helps us to look to Him by faith despite the difficulties we face. When Moses met God, the Israelites had forgotten that they had a covenant with God, and they needed to be convinced that whoever Moses was representing truly had the power to deliver! Our business cards give us an identity, the credibility and ability to negotiate on behalf of our company, but God told Moses to just tell the Israelites ‘I AM has sent me to you.’
This name of God, I AM, is a form of the verb “to be” in Hebrew, through which He expresses His self-existence and unchanging nature. He transcends the past, the present and the future. He has always been, He is and will always be. Because the great I AM is the inexhaustible God with divine sufficiency, there is endless abundance to meet any circumstance, challenge, demand, and surprise that comes our way.
The assurance that God gave Moses was that the great I AM was sending him to deliver the Israelites. This I AM was revealed when God did all the miracles in front of their eyes. He protected, provided, guided, and fought for them! Nothing and no one could withstand the deliverance of the Lord. He was everything the Israelites needed.
God exists whether mankind chooses to believe it or not because the opinion of men does not change the existence of God. Remembering that He existed long before we came into being, including the problem that we are facing today, will help us to look up to Him in our valleys of life! He is the great I AM who is and always will be.
Sermon Series: We Have an Unwavering Help and Support from the Lord
让上帝的可畏胜过你的挑战
诗篇 90:2 诸山未曾生出，地与世界你未曾造成，从亘古到永远，你是神。
以我们有限的头脑，很难理解一位无限的上帝。然而，看看远在我们出生之前就存在的那些山峦，它会帮助我们了解上帝的全能和存在。
创世记 1:1 起初神创造天地。
上帝不是受造物，因为祂早在创世之前就已经存在了。人类是有限的，而上帝是无限的—起初祂在那里，末了祂仍在，自有永有。祂是天地的创造者，从亘古到永远。在创世之时就在，祂现在也与我们同在，并将永远存在。当我们看着山峦和大海时，我们惊叹于神的能力和伟大，时刻被提醒这些都是由比它们更伟大者创造的。
出埃及记 3:14 神对摩西说、“我是自有永有的”。又说、“你要对以色列人这样说、‘那自有的打发我到你们这里来”。
祂也是伟大的自有永有者。这个名字帮助我们无论面对什么困难都凭着信心仰望祂。当摩西遇见神时，以色列人已经忘记了他们与神立了约，他们需要确信摩西所代表的人确实有能力拯救！我们的名片表明了我们的身份、可信度和代表公司谈判的能力，但上帝告诉摩西只需对以色列人说“我是那自有永有者派来的”。
上帝的名字，自有永有，是希伯来语“成为”的动词形式，祂藉此表达了祂的自我存在和不变的本性。祂超越了过去、现在和未来。祂一直是，现在是，也将永远是。因为伟大的“自有永有”是无穷无尽的神，拥有神圣的充足性，所以我们有无穷无尽的丰盛来满足我们遇到的任何环境、挑战、要求和惊喜。
上帝给摩西的保证是“伟大的自有永有”派遣他去拯救以色列人。当上帝在他们眼前行所有神迹时，这个“自有永有”就被显明了。祂保护、供应、引导他们，并且为他们而战！没有任何事物，任何人能抵挡主的拯救。祂是以色列人所需要的一切。
无论人类选择相信与否，上帝都存在，因为人的意见不会改变上帝的存在。记住祂早在我们-包括我们今天面临的问题-诞生之前就已经存在。这将帮助我们在生命的低谷中仰望他！祂是伟大的自有永有，现在是且永远都是。
