Psalm 139:16-17 "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.
(17) How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great
is the sum of them!"
We cannot see God with our eyes. Jesus taught us that God is a Spirit and they that worship Him must worship Him in Spirit and in truth. Our minds are pulled in so many different directions by so many different pressures placed on us, that we might very well find ourselves not having the proper thoughts concerning God. We may not think about Him as often as we should. But I assure you that though these things are true of us, our God sees us and His thoughts are always upon us.
God saw us in our imperfections and still He wrote our names in the book of Life. He saw that our sins placed so many blemishes upon us in our character and our attitude toward life; yet, He wrote our name. Do not stop with those thoughts. Notice what He says about the beginning of His sights upon us and His thoughts toward us. "When as yet there was none of them." Before we were being formed in our mother's womb, God knew us with complete understanding and knowledge. Before we were ever thought of, God knew us. He loved us. He had a plan for our lives. Can we trust Him. We surely can!
His thoughts toward us are precious. His plans for us are perfect. His love for us is absolutely unconditional. "How great is the sum of them!"
