PROMISE #247 - SEPTEMBER 4
Promise #247:
My thoughts toward you outnumber the sand on the seashore.
Psalm 139:17-18 (WEB)
17 How precious to me are your thoughts, God! How vast is their sum!
18 If I would count them, they are more in number than the sand.
When I wake up, I am still with you.
Have you ever tried to count the number of sand grains on a seashore? While it is technically possible to do, it is very close to the realm of impossible. There is too much sand even to begin to count.
King David declares that God's thoughts toward him literally outnumber the grains of sand on the seashore. Basically, David was saying that God is continually thinking of him—nonstop... all the time!
If we try to comprehend this promise with our human understanding, we will short-circuit for sure because it does not seem possible that God would constantly think of us. I am so thankful that our own human limitations do not limit our heavenly Father! The truth is that He can do whatever He wants, however He wants to do it.
My prayer for each of us today is that we become more aware of the longing in our Papa's heart for us. He is thinking about you RIGHT NOW! And right now, and right now again! Isn't that amazing? The God of the universe cannot stop thinking about you and me! May this life-changing truth sink deep into our hearts and transform us more and more.
