#126: Topic: ‘Who Am I, O Lord?
======================
Reference: 2 Samuel 7:18
‘Then went king David in, and sat before the Lord, and he said, Who am I, O Lord God ? and what is my house, that thou hast brought me hitherto?’
King David was nearing the end of his reign, and the Lord sent Prophet Nathan to him with words of comfort and assurance concerning his son Solomon, and the future.
‘But my mercy shall not depart away from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I put away before thee. And thine house and thy kingdom shall be established for ever before thee: thy throne shall be established for ever. According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so did Nathan speak unto David.’ 2 Samuel 8:15-17
David was so overwhelmed by God’s mercies and goodness towards him; that he went in, sat before the Lord and asked Him a simple question, ‘Who am I, and what is my house, that you have shown me so much goodness?’ (Paraphrased)
It is said that ‘the magnitude of your gratitude determines your ultimate altitude before God.’ David never lost sight of his humble beginnings and the fact that his meteoric rise from a poor shepherd to a king was as a result of Divine intervention, favor and manipulation.
Hear him: ‘I waited patiently for the Lord ; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry. He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings. ‘
Psalm 40:1-2
The irony of life is that many easily forget where God had picked them up from, and how far He has brought them. It’s so easy for many to fall victim to deception and believe that it’s by some hardwork, wisdom, knowledge, dexterity, business acumen, luck, etc etc. that has made them successful or achievers.
The truth is that we may all enjoy our constitutional rights but tomorrow is never a given. It’s all in the hands of the Creator, and the fact that He has spared us to see this day is in itself a miracle worthy of our gratitude and appreciation. .
The least we can do then is to sit before Him, and reflect over His goodness towards us these past few months; and count our blessings one by one; and like the song writer said, ‘.. it will surprise you what the Lord hath done..’ Shalom
