Who am I

Who am I that The King would bleed and die for? Elvis Presley


When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers,
 The moon and the stars, which You have ordained,
 What is man that You are mindful of him,
  And the son of man that You visit him?
  For You have made him a little lower than the angels,
  And You have crowned him with glory and honor. 
  You have made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands;
  You have put all things under his feet,
  All sheep and oxen—
  Even the beasts of the field,
  The birds of the air,
  And the fish of the sea
  That pass through the paths of the seas.     
  O LORD, our Lord,
  How excellent is Your name in all the earth! (Psalms 8:3-9) This Psalm was written by King David, and is actually a hymn, or a song of praise.  As a matter of fact, it is the only hymn in the Old Testament composed completely as direct address to God.  


As I look back over my life, pause and ponder the eternal question, which is Who am I?
That I would think so highly of myself? Did I cast the stars into the heavens?
Do I know the number of hairs in my head?  ( of course I do none I shave my head each day:) )
Did i breathe the breath of life into man kind?  What have I created ?
When David considered the majesty and greatness of God, he felt insignificant by comparison. In Psalm 8, David stands in awe of the majesty of the Lord. And when he realizes just how vast and magnificent God truly is, he’s even more amazed that God would take the time to notice him—a mere mortal man. 
The message behind the question  posed in by David the Psalmist who am I plainly and powerfully conveyed—is that no matter how small or insignificant you may feel, the Lord of all the Earth not only knows your name, but has made you special and calls you His own.


I love how humble David became as he looked at what the Creator God had done ,and as he endeavored to compare himself to God's wonders he became of aware of just how small he was in the big picture of the universe.  To often we image that the universe evolves around us. I need, I want, I feel all about me right???


 “What is man that You are mindful of him?”  Yet, in His great love, the Lord chose the Earth for Himself and created us in His image. God is mindful of us and He does care for us! God is love and that kind of love is beyond our understanding being that we are limited in our ability to love, but His love is fundamentally reliable.  The same creation that hated him he gave his only begotten son for that creation which is you and I. So who am I, I'm the apple of his eye the Word tells me that.  What am I, if I'm created in his image but do not follow his commandments?
