God Is Thinking About You Right Now

Psalms 139:17-18 ESV
“How precious to me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them! If I would count them, they are more than the sand. I awake, and I am still with you.”

This Psalm could be taken two ways; the thoughts of God about us or our thoughts toward God. I will focus on God’s thoughts about us. It is amazing to me that our Creator would think of us so much, but it is true. We are constantly on His mind. He has plans for us, and He cares for us.

He created and controls the universe, but He still has time to think about us. To plan our days, to guide, direct and correct our ways. We may fall sick or face a job loss or a financial crisis, but God’s working and moving the pieces around to put them in place to bring us out and deliver us.

Too often we feel like we are stranded, waiting on God, when God is sending help and hope and a valiant rescue. We may fail to see it, because our eyes are blinded by the pains of this life. If we want to learn what God’s thoughts are for us, we can read His Word. There, we will discover His love for us, what He has promised to do for us, and what He wants us to do for Him.

Proverbs 3:5-6 ESV says, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make straight your paths.”

Ephesians 2:10 says, “For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.”

Romans 8:38-40 states, “And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to His purpose. For those whom He foreknew He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, in order that He might be the firstborn among many brothers. And those whom He predestined He also called, and those whom He called He also justified, and those whom He justified He also glorified.”

Prayer:
Father, thank you for loving us so much, You have never left us alone. You have always cared for us, always provided, always directed our paths. For that we are truly thankful, Amen!
