Do you have a verse that you like in 1 Chronicles?

Question

And why do you like it?

Answer 1

1 Chronicles 29:14 "But who am I, and who are my people, that we should be able to give as generously as this? Everything comes from you, and we have given you only what comes from your hand."

Hard to focus in on just one verse, but some of the most beautiful language in the book is found in two prayers by David --the first after God announces his covenant with David and his house (1 Chr 17, which parallels 2 Samuel 7) and this one, unique to Chronicles, in response to the people's offering for the building of the Temple (the other 'house' inthe book!)

Each of these two prayers is full of praise to God, but the most powerful section of each is the "WHO AM I....?" part, where David marvels at God's grace to him (and his family and people), first in establishing his house (1 Chr 17:16ff) and now in even allowing and enabling him and his people to be part of buildilng his kingdom and giving him glory --both by supplying them something to give AND by moving their hearts to WANT to give!

(Incidentally, contrary to the popular understanding, John Newton's hymn "Amazing Grace" was NOT specifically written as his personal testimony, but as a meditation based on the prayer of 1 Chr 17 when Newton preached on that passage. It is especially focused on the "Who am I?" cry.
