How often does God think of you?

“How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them! [If] I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee.” Psalm 139:17-18 bold mine

This is an amazingly comforting thing to consider… that God’s thoughts for us… thoughts that we know from Jeremiah 29:11 are thoughts of peace and not to harm us… are more in number that the sand.

When I was thinking on this in prayer the Lord impressed something amazing on my heart.

I was considering all of the sand on all of the beaches in the world and thinking to myself, “Wow!  He thinks of me more than all of this sand!”  And this is what the Lord said to me in a very gentle, still small voice…

“That’s just the sand you see… the ocean floor is covered with it.”

Praise God that His thoughts toward us are so great in number!  (About 70% of the earth is covered by ocean.)

So when you wonder how much God thinks about you… consider that over 70% of the earth is covered with sand, and that each grain represents a thought of God for you… and that if you were able to count them…

you would still come up short…

He thinks about you more.
