We Are Precious In God’s Thoughts

Psalms‬ ‭139:15-17

“My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. How precious to me are your thoughts, God! How vast is the sum of them!” Psalms‬ ‭139:15-17‬ ‭NIV‬‬

We are the work of the Father's hand. What a comfort and joy to know that although we do not see the Lord, He not only sees us but knows us intentionally and intimately and has each of one of us in His thoughts constantly. He fashioned and formed us, He selected our parentage, and He scheduled every day of our lives.

When we know what we believe and believe what we know, we should have no fear, for He is with us, His rod and His staff are our comfort, for He knows and cares for You and for me with a blessed intimacy. We may never fully comprehend how much the Father loves us, how intimately He knows us, and how precious every one of us is to Him.

Let us join with David and tell the Lord, How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God. God knew each of us before we were born. Since God lives in eternity, He is not hampered with time as we are here on earth. So when God says something is going to happen, it has already happened in reality, just not physically in our space and time. But when God says it, it will always come to pass exactly as He has spoken. His word never fails. This is one of the greatest proofs of the veracity of the Scriptures.

God spoke in many different ways and through many different people and angels and every detail came to pass just as He said it would happen. God has spoken today and has promised to be with us. His thoughts, His plans and His ways are often beyond our imagination. We seek to know Him and we try to learn His Word but even at our best we are so far short of understanding His mind.

Yet, at the same time, He has made simple the things we really need to know to be able to live for Him and to serve Him. Profound but simple trust Him. There is nothing for us to fear and nothing to concern our hearts, for whether we feel it or not, His Word is true.

We are the children of the omniscient, omnipotent God of the universe. He has searched our hearts, and He knows us. He knows our every move and each fleeting thought that passes through our hearts. He knows whether we are waking or sleeping and understands our inner thoughts and the desires of our hearts.

If knowing that God is concerned about us every minute of the day, will bring joy to our hearts and souls and move us to a place of wanting to not only please God, but also serve Him with our whole heart.

Before we were recognizable flutters in our biological mothers' wombs, God recognized each of us as the person He was fashioning into His image. From conception, we were people of value, purpose, and dignity in the eyes of God. Before any other human knew we existed, our Father in heaven had a purpose for our lives and claimed us as His person.

Knowing this truth about all people should lead us to always show kindness and respect to each person with whom we interact!!!

Father thank You for this day and that You saw us before we were born. Lord let Your abundant blessings fall upon my friend and family today. Lord thank You that every day of our lives recorded in Your book and every moment of our lives is laid out before You. Praise the Lord, O our soul, and all that is within us praise Your Holy Name. Lord thank You for Your wonderful love. Lord give us wisdom to know where You want us to be used and in what way. Lord use my friend to be the touch of Your love to all today.

Father, we love You. Amen !
