How Precious Are Your Thoughts About Me,

O God.

They Cannot Be Numbered!

Scripture

Psalm 139

17 How precious are your thoughts about me, O God.
    They cannot be numbered!

18 I can’t even count them;
    they outnumber the grains of sand!
And when I wake up,
    you are still with me!

Observation

I was so glad when I saw that Psalm 139 was in today's daily Bible reading! What a great Psalm! Need encouragement? Need a lift this morning? Read Psalm 139! It will only take you a minute.

To think that the Creator God, the One who made heaven and earth is actually thinking about little old me. There are lots of important people in this world, yet God still takes time to think about me and His thoughts about me cannot even be numbered.

Now I have the best wife in the world (sorry to all of you other guys out there) and she hopefully thinks about me a lot just as I think about her a lot, but I don't think this even compares to how much my Heavenly Father thinks about both of us! 

God loved us so much that He left Heaven and came down to this earth to die for us on a cross. As sinful and rotten as I am He still died for me and He thinks about me constantly. And His thoughts for me, they outnumber the grains of sand!

Take a minute and read Psalm 139 and let God encourage your heart today!

Here it is!

Psalm 139

1 O Lord, you have examined my heart and know everything about me.

2 You know when I sit down or stand up. You know my thoughts even when I’m far away.

3 You see me when I travel and when I rest at home. You know everything I do.

4 You know what I am going to say even before I say it, Lord.

5 You go before me and follow me. You place your hand of blessing on my head.

6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too great for me to understand!

7 I can never escape from your Spirit! I can never get away from your presence!

8 If I go up to heaven, you are there; if I go down to the grave, you are there.

9 If I ride the wings of the morning, if I dwell by the farthest oceans,

10 even there your hand will guide me, and your strength will support me.

11 I could ask the darkness to hide me and the light around me to become night—

12 but even in darkness I cannot hide from you. To you the night shines as bright as day. Darkness and light are the same to you.

13 You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother’s womb.

14 Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous—how well I know it.

15 You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion, as I was woven together in the dark of the womb.

16 You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed.

17 How precious are your thoughts about me, O God. They cannot be numbered!

18 I can’t even count them; they outnumber the grains of sand! And when I wake up, you are still with me!

19 O God, if only you would destroy the wicked! Get out of my life, you murderers!

20 They blaspheme you; your enemies misuse your name.

21 O Lord, shouldn’t I hate those who hate you? Shouldn’t I despise those who oppose you?

22 Yes, I hate them with total hatred, for your enemies are my enemies.

23 Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts.

24 Point out anything in me that offends you, and lead me along the path of everlasting life.

Application

I am humbled when I think that God loves me enough to even think about me. I am overwhelmed when I think that He is constantly thinking about me. He knew me before I was even born. He knows my thoughts even before I think them and yet He still loves me. Amazing!

How about you? Has it dawned on you yet just how much God loves you?

Romans 5:8

8 But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, thank You for thinking about me. Your love for me is overwhelming. I don't deserve it. You know everything about me and yet You still love me and think about me all the time. You are amazing.

I pray for any person who doesn't feel like You love them. I know some people who think that the bad things that happen to them in life is because You are being mean to them. They don't understand at all what a loving Heavenly Father You are. Soften their hearts, Lord. Soften their hearts.
