Intro: David made king over all Israel. Hiram had sent cedars for David's palace. David decided to build a house for God. God revealed through the prophet His diving intentions. David overwhelmed, went in and SAT before the Lord and worshipped. Conscious of God's mercies let us enter where David could not go within the veil to the Holy of Holies. David realized God was speaking of Christ. Acts 2:29.
I. DAVID'S HUMILITY. "WHO AM I O LORD GOD, AND WHAT IS MY HOUSE, THAT THOU HAST BROUGHT ME HITHERTO?"

2. Taken from sheep cote.
3. What is your origin?
a. That you should be called a child of God?
b. You have come from a race of rebels.
B. Own personal unworthiness, "Who am I?"
1. Might we not say the same?
2. Look at yourself, what is there that God should send His Son to die for you?
3. David looked at his own deservings.
a. Ps. 25, "Remember the sins of my youth."
C. "Who am I,O Lord God?" Sense of own nothingness.
1. Nothing humbles a man like mercy of God.

a. Brought you out of the pit.
b. Washed, cleansed, pardoned, justified, sanctified.
B. At what God promised, Vs. 19.

C. God's manner of giving, "Is this the law of man?"
III. DAVID'S EMOTIONS OF LOVE.
A. "What can David say more? Struck dumb by love.
1. Paul's "And what shall we say to these things?"
2. There comes that time that moment when in His presence reminded of His grace we become speechless. Communication of the spirit, the eloquence of silence.
B. "For thou Lord God knowest thy servant?"
1. Peter "Thou knowest all things, thou knowest."
IV. DAVID'S PRAISE.
A. For freeness of grace, Vs. 21.
1. Why does God love you?
