Psalm 40:5 "Many, O LORD my God, are thy
wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward:
they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of
them, they are more than can be numbered."
Have you ever tried to count the stars? What about grains of sand? Have you
ever tried to count sheep? I have to confess that my mind begins to
wander into another thought whenever I try to count any of those things. If I
cannot count those things which I can see and understand, then I'm certain that
I cannot fathom the number of blessings that I am given on any particular
day. The Psalmist simply says, "Many, O Lord my God, are thy
wonderful works which thou has done." He says in another place,
"Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of
our salvation. Selah." (Psalm 68:19) God loads us with blessings
every single day. He simply says, "they are more than can be
numbered."
Then he continues that thought by expanding it from the visible, physical blessings to the thoughts which God has for each one of us. His thoughts toward me are "... more than can be numbered." Can you imagine this? I cannot think two different thoughts at the same time, but my God is able to maintain every single molecule in this universe. He makes sure the sun rises each day and sets each evening. He maintains the proper mixture of gases in the atmosphere so I can breathe properly. He keeps the trees, grass, flowers, and all the animal kingdom alive and well and moving in the proper manner. He does all that and still His thoughts toward me are more than can be numbered. How Great is our God!! I could continue with these thoughts, but hopefully this is enough to spur each of us to be grateful to God for all that He does for us each day. "Many, O Lord my God, are thy wonderful works...."
