God’s Thoughts Toward Us

It’s comforting to get a card in the mail, or have someone say they’re thinking about us. But who more amazing to hear that from than the Creator of heaven and earth! What mercy and grace!

We know how important it is to keep our minds on the Lord. But we meditate on Him, because He first thought of us. 

“You have multiplied, O LORD my God,

your wondrous deeds and your thoughts toward us;

none can compare with you!

I will proclaim and tell of them,

yet they are more than can be told.”
Psalm 40:5

Let’s rejoice in the kind of thinking He does about us.  Like any good parent, He loves us and cares. Listen to Jeremiah 29:11,

“For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD,

plans for welfare and not for evil,

to give you a future and a hope.”

What mercy! His thoughts toward us brought Jesus to die on the cross, so that we could be with Him for all eternity. He did it while we were still enemies.

“How great are your works, O LORD!

Your thoughts are very deep!

Psalm 92:5

“How precious to me are your thoughts, O God!

How vastis the sum of them!”

Psalm 139:17

“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,

so are my ways higher than your ways

and my thoughts than your thoughts.

Isaiah 55:9

As we consider these verses and the wonder of the very thoughts of God, 1 Corinthians 2:16 says that He has given believers the mind of Christ.

Oh Lord, thank You for thinking of us!  What stunning grace that You would give us understanding through the gift of the Holy Spirit.
