Psalm 139:17 - Gods Thoughts - so Precious and Vast.

Psalm 139:17 (NIV) How precious to me are 
your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of 
them!  

   Divine omniscience provides no comfort to 
the ungodly mind, but to the child of God it 
overflows with consolation. God is always thinking 
about us, never turns His mind from us, always has 
us before His eyes; and this is precisely how 
we would want it, because it would be dreadful 
to exist for a moment outside the observation 
of our heavenly Father. His thoughts are always 
tender, loving, wise, prudent, far-reaching, and 
they bring countless benefits to us: It is 
consequently a supreme delight to remember them. The Lord 
always thought about His people: hence their 
election and the covenant of grace by which their 
salvation is secured. He will always think upon them: 
hence their final perseverance by which they shall 
be brought safely to their final rest. 
   In all our wanderings the watchful glance 
of the Eternal Watcher is constantly fixed upon 
us - we never roam beyond the Shepherds eye. 
In our sorrows He observes us incessantly, and 
not a painful emotion escapes Him; in our toils 
He notices all our weariness, and He writes all 
the struggles of His faithful ones in His book. 
These thoughts of the Lord encompass us in all our 
paths and penetrate the innermost region of our 
being. Not a nerve or tissue, valve or vessel of 
our bodily frame is uncared for; all the details 
of our little world are thought upon by the 
great God. 
   Dear reader, is this precious to you? 
Then hold to it. Do not be led astray by those 
philosophical fools who preach an impersonal God and talk 
of self-existent, self-governing matter. The 
Lord lives and thinks upon us; this is a far too 
precious truth for us to be easily robbed of it. To 
be noticed by a nobleman is valued so highly 
that he who has it counts his fortune made; but 
how much greater is it to be thought of by the 
King of kings! If the Lord thinks upon us, all is 
well, and we may rejoice evermore. [Truth for Life
