Is God Thinking About Us?

Don’t you love it when you call someone and the first thing that comes out of their mouths is, “I was just thinking about you!”

It’s heartwarming to know that you’re thought of and when you’re thought of.

You know who else is thinking about us?

Only the most important Being in our entire universe – our Creator and Sovereign God!

before you were even born

God thought about you before you were even born.

How amazing is that!

Try to Count The Grains of Sand

What do you do when you love someone?

You think about them, pray that they’re happy and doing well, and keeping the faith through these trying times.

You think about them.

On a higher and omniscient level, God thinks about me and He thinks about you.

He has so many thoughts about us that the Bible says His thoughts outnumber the grains of sand.

Your thoughts for me would outnumber the sand

Sand can be found in a lot of places, but the next time you’re at a sandy beach, look around your towel.

Can you count the number of the grains of sand on the earth?

Let’s see: one, two . . . three thousand . . . one-hundred thousand . . .

You’d still be counting, right?

How precious also are Your thoughts for me, God!
How vast is the sum of them!
Were I to count them, they would outnumber the sand.
When I awake, I am still with You. – Psalm 139:17-18, (NASB).¹

When I read passages like this in the Bible, my heart fills with joy and gladness.

We are thought of because He loves and cares about us.

Before You Were Even Born He Wanted to Bless You

Every good and perfect thing comes from God.

Those joyful things that have happened in your life? Those came from God.

“We cannot conceive how many God’s kind counsels have been concerning us, how many good turns he has done us, and what variety of mercies we have received from him” – Matthew Henry, Christian minister and author.²

I like to think that someday we will know, and we’ll be even more humbled in His presence.

We can’t thank Him enough!

Thank You, Lord, for your thoughts towards us.

How comforting it is to know that we are never out of Your sight.

Even in the darkest dark that is this world,

You are the Light shining through this darkness

leading us to eternal victory by sending us Your Son.

Our Exceptional God

Thankful For The Light

Have you ever walked around in the middle of the night when it’s pitch-black dark?

Ouchhhhhh! I stubbed my toe.

Who moved the couch?

Finally you find the light switch and flip it on.

The welcoming light obediently floods the room.

Yay! No more stumbling around in the dark.

Aren’t you thankful for the light?

Morning Has Broken

the Lamp of Heaven

As the dawn starts to break, the sun begins its morning dance across the sky.

Our magnificent Sun, the lamp of Heaven, lights up a world of over 7.6 billion people.

Depending on your time zone, people start to wake.

Millions everywhere yawn and stretch – ready to face the day.

Each day brings new responsibilities stacked on top of old ones still demanding attention.

Sadly, we don’t have much time to slow down and smell the roses.

The Lamp of Heaven is Powerful

the lamp of heaven is powerful

How powerful is the sun?

The Sun’s energy, composed of hydrogen and helium fusion, is comparable to a nuclear explosion!

Nuclear explosions strike fear in the hearts of men, but the Lamp of Heaven is so perfectly made by our Creator, that these perfectly-combined explosions enable life to exist on earth.

No small miracle.

The sun lights our days so we can see nature all around us. (Even a blind person can feel the warmth of the sun.)

Aren’t you thankful for the sun?

In the Beginning

In the beginning, there was Nothing.

God spoke, and the Nothing became the Something Spectacular.

You and I are living on it now.

The lights of heaven are the sun, moon, and stars; and all these are the work of God’s hands. (1.) The sun is the greatest light of all, more than a million times greater than the earth, and the most glorious and useful of all the lamps of heaven, a noble instance of the Creator’s wisdom, power, and goodness, and an invaluable blessing to the creatures of this lower world. – Matthew Henry, Christian minister and author.²

God’s creation wonderfully highlights His majesty and perfect love for us.

What a gift!

And someday, the Son (not the Sun) will directly light our lives for eternity.

Make no doubt about it in Isaiah 60:10 below, the prophet was speaking God’s word to Israel – His chosen people.

The saved people of Israel, of course, but what about us too?

God does not forget the Church.

As Christians who believe in salvation through Jesus Christ alone, we are also a part of God’s larger redemptive plan.

This is yet one more reason to delight in God.

Here’s what we have to look forward to!

The Lord our everlasting light
