What Kind of God?

WHAT KIND OF GOD DO YOU THINK I AM?


WITH THE SOLDIERS RIGHT BEHIND THEM AND THE RED SEA AHEAD,
THE PEOPLE CRIED TO MOSES, "MAN IT LOOKS LIKE WE'RE DEAD!
"DID YOU BRING US OUT OF EGYPT TO DIE IN THE SAND?"
AND GOD SAID,
"WHAT KIND OF GOD DO YOU THINK I AM?
"DO YOU REALLY THINK THE WATER IS TOO DEEP FOR ME?
"DO YOU THINK THAT I'M AFRAID OF PHARAOH'S ARMY?"
THEN HE PARTED THE WATERS AND THEY WALKED ON DRY LAND,
AND GOD SAID, "NOW WHAT KIND OF GOD DO YOU THINK I AM?"

WHEN THEY REACHED THE LAND OF CANAAN, THEY SENT OUT TWELVE MEN.
TEN CAME BACK TO TELL THE STORY OF THE GIANTS, AND THEN
THE PEOPLE CRIED, "WE ARE DEFEATED, AND WE'LL DIE IN THIS LAND!"
AND GOD SAID, "YES! IF THAT'S THE KIND OF GOD YOU THINK I AM.
"AS YOU'VE SPOKEN IN MY EAR, THAT'S THE THING I WILL DO.
"THE THINGS THAT YOU BELIEVE ARE GONNA HAPPEN TO YOU (Num. 14:28, Mark 11:23-24).
"ONLY JOSHUA AND CALEB WILL SET FOOT IN THE LAND,
CAUSE I KNOW WHAT KIND OF GOD THAT THEY THINK I AM."

PETER YELLED WE GOTTA BAIL BOYS, OR WE AIN'T GONNA FLOAT,
AND WHAT ABOUT THAT JESUS? HE'S ASLEEP IN THE BOAT!"
HOW COULD THIS BUNCH FORGET, HE SAID THEY'D CROSS TO DRY LAND?
THEN JESUS SAID, "WHAT KIND OF GOD DO YOU THINK I AM?
"DO YOU REALLY THINK THE WATER IS TOO DEEP FOR ME?
"DO YOU THINK THAT I'M AFRAID OF SATAN'S FURY?"

JESUS CALMED THE WIND AND WATER WITH AN UPLIFTED HAND,
AND SAID, "NOW WHAT KIND OF GOD DO YOU THINK I AM?"

SO EVEN WHEN THE WATER IS TOO DEEP FOR ME,
EVEN WHEN I'M IN THE MIDST OF SATAN'S FURY,
JESUS NODS TO THE FATHER AND SAYS, "THIS ONE WILL STAND, CAUSE I KNOW WHAT KIND OF GOD THAT HE THINKS I AM."


His Name is I AM. Not I was, or will be. He is the same yesterday, today and forever. He is limited only by our unbelief. Matt. 13:58 and Mark 6:5.
