Day 5
The Strategic Yahweh

Exodus 3:14-15
God replied to Moses, "I AM WHO I AM. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: I AM has sent me to you." 15 God also said to Moses, "Say this to the Israelites: Yahweh, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you. This is My name forever; this is how I am to be remembered in every generation."
(Holman Christian Standard Bible)

The next point to establish is that Yahweh wishes us to think in terms of generations, or we might say that Yahweh wants us to have a life strategy based on generational impact and thinking.

The back door approach to understanding generational thinking is to first mention it’s opposing life strategy. That would be living with a simple survival mentality. This is probably best typified by the street person whose only concern is where their next meal or 'fix' is coming from. The most advanced form of the survivalist mentality is seen in the pretty typical American life strategy for middle class American’s… and that is planning for retirement.

You may not have thought of it this way before… but simply attempting to plan for an adequate retirement… is frankly living with a survivalist mentality.

Yahweh doesn’t strategize this way.
