Who am I, Lord

The 2 Samuel 7 passage describes when David, humbled by the greatness of God, asks "Who am I", that God has brought him thus far. How timely it is that I asked the very same question just this week to the Lord while reflecting on what He has been providing recently. This semester started off very rough in various aspects; however, lately God has been so lavish in His blessings, and I'm just left here in awe and in confusion. I don't get it. Part of my wants to recoil back to my skepticism and brace myself to the hardship that karma would inevitably bring. However, I remind myself, that that is not our God. How thankful I am, that God continues to provide abundantly even when we feel unworthy. I pray that I way be able to give Him even more of the praise and thanks that He is more than worthy to receive.

Hebrews 9
13-14  For if the blood of goats and bulls, and the sprinkling of defiled persons with the ashes of a heifer, sanctify for the purification of the flesh, how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God, purify our conscience from dead works to serve the living God.

How great is our Lord that He has provided the ultimate sacrifice for our salvation. It still boggles my mind; I didn't more fully realize the significance of Jesus's blood until just last year even though I knew all this time that He died for our sins. Jesus has given His all that we may receive all. How can I not be even more humbled.

Lord, I pray that I may be able to gain a humility that points to You. Thank you Lord for Your lavish provision even when we are not worthy. I pray that I may continue to give You even more praise and thanksgiving. In all things, in all situations, and in all my actions, may You be glorified.
