Who am I, O Lord God, and what is my family, that you have brought me this far? You speak as though I were someone very great, O Lord God! – 1 Chronicles 17:16,17 (NLT)
WHO AM I LORD?
A poem and essay by ILMA
Who am I Lord that you seek me?
Why do you search my heart and want me free?
I am not worthy and yet you give me honor
I don’t deserve anything but you gave me a Savior.
You speak as though I am someone very great
Yet I have been disobedient and an ingrate
O Lord my God, you have brought me this far
Thank you that you never walk away or depart.

Have you ever experienced someone giving you honor and respect without expecting anything in return? It is very hard to come by someone who would genuinely treat you like royalty. In 1 Chronicles, David is humbly overwhelmed what favors God has done for him. He is full of thankfulness to God’s mercy and blessings. He opens his heart to God boldly and bares his deepest contrition and need for the Lord.
Who are you the God? You are his child and that is why he created you in his own image. You are the epitome of God’s character. He made every part of you so that he can see himself in you.
PRAYER
Thank you for honoring me Lord.
REFLECTION
How do you express gratitude and honor to God?
