Have you ever seen a lamp that turns on when you clap your hands?  Back in 1996 the "Clapper" was invented and was quite a fad for a while until notice was taken that a dog barking or a loud sneeze would activate the lamp. You could say, "Let there be light" and clap your hands at the same time and proudly claim to be just as good as God. Well, not quite. Somebody understood electricity and put together the mechanics for producing it and somebody put together the ingredients for a light bulb and somebody figured the best substance to carry electricity way before you clapped your hands and spoke. All the makings for the lamp were in existence before you came along.

It was not that way when there was nothing, that is nothing but God. God has always been. Moses asked God what His name was, for, names back then described or identified people. Remember, God changed Abram's name to Abraham because it signified that he would be the father of many nations. When God answered Moses's question, He said, "I Am" and He was saying I have always been, it is always now with God. He is in the now.  You can't get ahead of Him or behind Him. You aren't in tomorrow or yesterday, but God is. He is there and here at the same time.

You can't speak any thing into existence. You can put together things already in existence, but you do not have the ability to speak some thing into existence. I keep saying that words are important and we should pay attention to the words we use and we should especially pay attention to the words God uses. He spoke and out of nothing light came to be. Wow! Wouldn't you love to have seen that? Jesus is the Word become flesh. That energy and power to create, not just put together stuff, became a man. He limited His limitless energy for 33 years to accomplish something for you and me. He reestablished the broken  connection between God and man as easy as plugging a lamp cord into an electrical socket, but it was at an immeasurable cost to Him.

The cord is waiting for you to plug in and have light.
