Who am I?

I heard this song this morning and it fit well with what I was talking about yesterday.

Who am I?
That the Lord of all the earth,
Would care to know my name,
Would care to feel my hurt.
Who am I?
That the bright and morning star,
Would choose to light the way,
For my ever wandering heart.

Bridge:
Not because of who I am,
But because of what you've done.
Not because of what I've done,
But because of who you are.

Chorus:
I am a flower quickly fading,
Here today and gone tomorrow,
A wave tossed in the ocean,
A vapor in the wind.
Still you hear me when I'm calling,
Lord, you catch me when I'm falling,
And you've told me who I am.
I am yours.
I am yours.

Who am I?
That the eyes that see my sin
Would look on me with love
And watch me rise again.
Who am I?
That the voice that calmed the sea,
Would call out through the rain,
And calm the storm in me.

Whom shall I fear
Whom shall I fear
I am yours..
I am yours..

Anyway........

I was reading in Isaiah 1 this morning and one verse stuck out, v. 3: An ox knows its owner, and a donkey its master's manger, but Israel does not know, My people do not understand.

I looked up a cross reference, Jeremiah 9:3, 6: "They bend their tongue like their bow; lies and not truth prevail in the land; for they proceed from evil to evil, and they do not know Me", declares the Lord.  "Your dwelling is in the midst of deceit; through deceit they refuse to know Me", declares the Lord. 

Also, Isaiah 44:18: They do not know, nor do they understand, for He has smeared over their eyes so that they cannot see and their hearts so that they cannot comprehend.

These verses were written about the children of Israel. God's chosen people.  That last verse is a bit scary.  He was the one that clouded their eyes and closed their hearts.  I was really convicted.  How well do I understand the Lord?  Am I really seeking to know Him more, or do I rest on what I already understand about Him.  I feel like I have grown leaps and bounds this past year, but have I really?   Who can really understand the mind of the Lord? 

I pray that I am constantly remembering to seek Your face, seeking Your will for my life, becoming more like the One who saved me.
