Did you ever consider God's thoughts of his children as being precious? Just as we have precious thoughts of our own children, God has those kind of thoughts towards us. Read what David of the Bible has to say about that.
O lord, thou hast searched me, and known me Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off. Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways. For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O Lord, thou knowest it altogether. Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it. Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence? If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there. If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me. If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me. Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee. For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb. I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well. My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them. How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them! If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee. Psalm 139:1-18
God knows us inside and out. He knew us when we were created in our mother's womb. It was he that created us! And he that loves us so deeply. Why would he not have precious thoughts of us? What a wonderful word from long ago David that done the kinds of things against God that he had. Yet he knew God considered his precious. Just as we can know that today. Especially, when we aren't being exactly feeling that way, ourselves.
Thanks for coming by, Friends. I am so blessed to be back here to share with you. I am planning to continue my posts on Harold Camping. I just have to get back on track with that tomorrow. In the meantime, have a blessed day!
