WHO AM I?
Today's reading:  2 Samuel 5-9

"Then King David went in and sat before the Lord and prayed, Who am I, O Sovereign Lord, and what is my family , that you have brought me this far?"   2 Samuel 7:18 NLT

I can see David stealing away from the palace happenings and the bodyguards and the personal secretaries to sit in his small 'chapel'.

I can see him lay his crown on the pew and kneel at the altar.

I can imagine his stature melt into humility as he spoke with the Lord and thanked Him for all He had bestowed.

I can see David's shoulders shake as he is overwhelmed with emotion, awed by grace and stricken with the enormity of His Lord.

How do I know?

I'm 'wearing David's shoes' this morning!

I'm in awe of God.  All He is to me.  All He's done for me.  All He's accomplished through me.  All He's done despite me.

Who am I that I should receive any one of His mercies, and yet He has chosen to pour them out on me?

Who am I am that I would have any one blessing bestowed upon me, and yet my days are filled with them?

Who am I that God would send Jesus to die on the cross for me, and yet He did--O Sovereign Lord!
