Into the Fire

Passionate thoughts about the world of writing and the Power of God

Then King David went in and sat before the Lord, and he said:

“Who am I, O Lord God, and what is my family, that you have brought me this far? And as if this were not enough in your sight, O God, you have spoken about the future of the house of your servant. You have looked on me as though I were the most exalted of men, O Lord God.

. . .

“There is no one like you, O Lord, and there is no God but you, as we have heard with our own ears. And who is like your people Israel–the one nation on earth whose God went out to redeem a people for himself, and to make a name for yourself, and to perform great and awesome wonders by driving out nations from before your people, whom you redeemed from Egypt? You made your people Israel your very own forever, and you, O Lord, have become their God.”

1Chronicles 17:16-17; 20-22 (NIV)

    Thanks for lifting my spirits at the end of a long day with a couple of difficult moments thrown in.
    This made me think of this song:
    Over time you’ve healed so much in me
    I am living proof
    That although my darkest hour had come
    Your light could still shine through
    Though at times it’s just enough
    To cast a shadow on the wall,
    Well I am grateful that You shine
    A light on me at all
    CHORUS
    Who am I that you would love me so gently?
    Who am I that you would recognize my name?
    Lord, who am I that you would speak to me so softly
    Conversation with the love most high
    Who am I
    Amazing grace how sweet the sound
    That saved a wretch like me
    I once was lost but now I’m found
    Was blind but now I see,
    And the more I sing that sweet old song
    The more I understand
    That I do not comprehend this love
    That’s coming from your hand
    CHORUS
    BRIDGE
    Grace, grace God’s grace
    Grace that will pardon and cleanse within
    Grace, grace, God’s great grace
    Grace that is greater than all my sin
    CHORUS
    Who am I that you would love me so gently?
    Who am I that you would recognize my name?
    Lord, who am I that you would speak to me so softly…
    Conversation with the love most high
    Who am I
    Who am I
    Who am I
    Who am I
