Who am I?

Asking people to pray for me about a test has always been hard for me. There are people who are starving, lost, having marital problems, missionaries...anything seems more important than an exam.

When the Lord answered prayer last Monday, the only thing that came to mind was, "Who am I?" Casting Crowns has the perfect song for this:

Who am I?
That the Lord of all the earth,
Would care to know my name,
Would care to feel my hurt.
Who am I?
That the bright and morning star,
Would choose to light the way,
For my ever wandering heart.

Bridge:
Not because of who I am,
But because of what you've done.
Not because of what I've done,
But because of who you are.

Chorus:
I am a flower quickly fading,
Here today and gone tomorrow,
A wave tossed in the ocean,
A vapor in the wind.
Still you hear me when I'm calling,
Lord, you catch me when I'm falling,
And you've told me who I am.
I am yours.
I am yours.

Who am I?
That the eyes that see my sin
Would look on me with love
And watch me rise again.
Who am I?
That the voice that calmed the sea,
Would call out through the rain,
And calm the storm in me.

Whom shall I fear?
Whom shall I fear?
'Cause I am yours.
I am yours.

Then I was reminded of a sermon that I recently heard about David. Nathan tells David about the covenant that God wants to make with him about his family being blessed and his son building the temple and so on. Anyway...David responds like this:

2 Sam 7:18-19
Then King David went in and sat before the LORD, and he said: "Who am I, O Sovereign LORD, and what is my family, that you have brought me this far? And as if this were not enough in your sight, O Sovereign LORD, you have also spoken about the future of the house of your servant. Is this your usual way of dealing with man, O Sovereign LORD?

So, all this to sum up that God cares! Even the smallest thing that may not seem important in the big picture...He cares about you! I cannot wait to see what great things He holds in our future!
