Who Am I?

(View Daily Bread)

Psalm 8 (NIV)
For the director of music. According to gittith. A psalm of David.

1 O LORD, our Lord,
how majestic is your name in all the earth!

You have set your glory
above the heavens.
2 From the lips of children and infants
you have ordained praise
because of your enemies,
to silence the foe and the avenger.

3 When I consider your heavens,
the work of your fingers,
the moon and the stars,
which you have set in place,
4 what is man that you are mindful of him,
the son of man that you care for him?
5 You made him a little lower than the heavenly beings
and crowned him with glory and honor.

6 You made him ruler over the works of your hands;
you put everything under his feet:
7 all flocks and herds,
and the beasts of the field,
8 the birds of the air,
and the fish of the sea,
all that swim the paths of the seas.

9 O LORD, our Lord,
how majestic is your name in all the earth!

I'm so surprised that today's Daily Bread entry is actually based on one of favourite songs, Casting Crowns’ "Who Am I?”

This song touched me from deep within, to make me realise just how small and temporal I am. I can just be gone from the face of the earth just at any split second. That everything I do is so small in comparison to what my God has done.

Yet through all these, God still loves me, He still cares for me, He still wants to know every little thought that goes through my head, He still carries me, He still guides me, He still sends His precious Son Jesus to die for me. Just who am I to deserve this?

If I could, for a second, make you ponder over these questions, what will be your answer?

Know this, that no matter how broken our life may be, how rough life’s journey is, how much things fail in your life that you just want to give up everything, know this. God loves you. God yearns to be with you. God is love. And His love never fails.

Casting Crowns - Who Am I?
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

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

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

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

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

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
