Before You Were Even Born
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!
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.
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.
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.
