The Greeks, Romans and other nations that surrounded Israel had many gods; one for each town, district and different area of life (e.g. rain, harvest, sea). By comparison, Israel was unique in believing in a supreme God who both created everything and maintained all things. When God revealed himself to Moses in Exodus 3:14 as the great ‘I AM’, he emphatically rejected other nations’ notions of God. Give thanks that our God is timeless, unending, all powerful and utterly sovereign.
