Psalm 139:17-18

Isn’t it nice to know that we are being thought of? Have you ever gotten a random text from someone you haven’t heard from in a long time? Or maybe we were the one who sent the text or made the call. I personally like texting for it allows me to let someone know that I am thinking of them without being too intrusion, especially if they’re at work. It is really nice to be thought of.

But these verses tells me that God’s thoughts about us are not random, but rather plentiful. Psalm 37:23-24 tells us:

“The Lord directs the steps of the godly. He delights in every detail of their lives. Though they stumble, they will never fall, for the Lord holds them by the hand.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭37‬:‭23‬-‭24‬ ‭NLT‬‬

This tells me that God is thinking of me on my good days, on my bad days, and—as the Amplified version highlights—He busies Himself with my every step.

Have you ever had someone so vested in your well-being ?

At times, we can feel all alone, but be are never all alone. As we read earlier in this psalm, God knows everything—everything we think, and everything we do. While that can feel a bit intrusive, it is also quite comforting, because even on our worst days, as a friend of mine once stated, “God loves us, warts and all.”

So take comfort in knowing God is with you and for you. He is a very present help in times of trouble. We can call out to Him at any time and know that He is close and knows all the particulars about our situation. As Romans 8:28 is so often quoted, He works everything together for our good.
