There have been people throughout the Bible that have asked this very question: "who am I?" Moses asked God, "Who am I, that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the Israelites out of Egypt?" Exodus 3:11
David questioned, "Who am I, O Lord God, and what is my house and family, that You have brought me up to this?" (1 Chronicals 17:16) David asks several more times, "Who am I?" In 1 Chronicals 29:14 he questions God again, "Who am I, and what are my people, that we should retain strength and be able to offer thus so willingly?" In Psalm 8: 4, David broadens this question, " What is man that You are mindful of him, and the son of [earthborn] man that You care for him?"
And here I am thousands of years later trying to answer this same question…"Lord, who am I?" Who am I, What am I that you would think of me?" The wonderful thing about such a question is that throughout His word, God answers this age old question, painting a beautiful picture of exactly who we are, who He has made us, who He makes us.
