‘His Thoughts for you’

Jeremiah 29:11

‘For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.’

Psalm 139 says that God’s thoughts toward you are “more than the grains of sand.”    “Were I to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand.”“I couldn’t even begin to count them – any more than I could count the sand of the sea.”

God thinks  about you…..all the time.  In the midst of all He is doing; He is a living God after all, of all the things God maintains and keeps in order, He  keeps you in the palm of His hand.  He knows the number of hairs on your head.  

I like a song that Pastor Kevin sings called, ‘Your all I need’  One of the verses says, “He sees you when your sleeping, He knows when your awake”    What an incredible thought!

I for one am thankful He keeps me in His thoughts because without Him, who would I have to direct my steps?

But as I just pondered on this verse, that His thoughts towards me never change, they are in constant motion leading me in the way I should go.  And if I go that way, I am assured by Him that the way will be in peace, for good, and not for evil.  I can’t begin to tell you how many thoughts I’ve had just since I began writing this entry today.  I can’t remember them all, and yet can I say that the most of those thought were centered on Him?

Imagine counting the grains of sand on every ocean, sea, lake and river!

 

If God’s thoughts for me are more than the grains,  that is a lot of thoughts!

How many are those thoughts?

Let’s think of this number in terms of time.

If the average lifespan is 75 years this equals 27,375 days. We know there are way more grains of sand than this.

It’s safe to say that God thinks about you at least every day.

If we keep doing the math we find out that a normal person lives 657,000 hours. Obviously, there are many more grains of sand than this. God must think about you at least once an hour.

That said, this breaks down to 39,420,000 minutes. I think it’s safe to say that there are more grains of sand than this.

God must think about you at least once a minute.

When all is said and done, the math tells us that the average life is 2,365,200,000 seconds long. Are there more grains of sand than this?  I think it’s safe to say that there are more grains of sand than this.

Bottom line? There will never be a day, an hour, a second that you are not on God’s mind!

Five days to go before I begin my chemotherapy sessions.  I have to admit, my thoughts are trying not to think about them.

Can you imagine if I had to rely upon myself to get  through this?   But God’s thoughts for me are already covered.   He has already  calculated all my needs, fears, anxieties regarding all this to come.

God say’s here that His thoughts for me through this are peaceable, and for good, not for evil.   As far as I’m concerned, He has it all covered.

I think I will walk with Him in this, and just take Him at His Word.  2,365,200,000 seconds, (Give or take 20 years) His thoughts towards  me are so vast that I can be assured, He is in this with Patty, and with me.
