Who Am I ?

Not so long ago I got hit with some news that should have caused me to become frayed at the edges. After my initial— ‘What??’, I proceeded to get some clarification. My next action was to raise my heart in worship. You see I have come to understand that God is God, and I am not. I am not omnipotent nor am I omnipresent—He is. I am as limited as they come. There are somethings I have to ‘leave at His feet’. What surprised me was my response in the coming days, minutes and hours. I wanted to worry, cuss and a plethora of other things, but I couldn’t. Actually, I found myself laughing.

The journey may have been a long one, but finally I am learning to become ‘unmoved ‘ by what life throws at me. I join generations of those ahead of me who have uttered, “…we don’t know what to do, but our eyes are upon You.” Countless sojourners on this rock who have discovered that God is faithful. He invests time and resources to pour His truth into us. There comes a time when we must decide or even dare to trust His hand—trust His heart. Who am I to not believe You? Who am I to not worship You?

The nations are a drop in the bucket
I am less
Yet You move mountains to get to me
Who am I
That You take the time to bottle my tears
In my weakest moments
You carry me

You watched over me
Before I ever breathed air
Like a master designer
You laid out the number of my days
Who am I
That my voice
Makes you stop to listen

The flawed, fractured me
Laid vulnerable under Your hand
You gently put the pieces back together
The undeserved me
Looks up in gratitude
Who am I
To not worship You

 “O LORD, God of our fathers, are You not God in heaven? And do You not rule over all the kingdoms of the nations? Power and might are in Your hand, there is no one able to take a stand against You.”

2Chronicles 20:6 [Part of Hezekiah’s prayer when he was overwhelmed.]
