Psalms 139:1-6 and 13-16

1 O LORD, you have searched me
       and you know me.

2 You know when I sit and when I rise;
       you perceive my thoughts from afar.

3 You discern my going out and my lying down;
       you are familiar with all my ways.

4 Before a word is on my tongue
       you know it completely, O LORD.

5 You hem me in—behind and before;
       you have laid your hand upon me.

6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,
       too lofty for me to attain.

 13 For you created my inmost being;
       you knit me together in my mother's womb.

14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
       your works are wonderful,
       I know that full well.

15 My frame was not hidden from you
       when I was made in the secret place.
       When I was woven together in the depths of the earth,

16 your eyes saw my unformed body.
       All the days ordained for me
       were written in your book
       before one of them came to be.

God is Thinking about You
by Katherine Kehler

“ How precious it is, Lord, to realize that You are thinking about me constantly .” (Psalm 139:17)

Mark and Caroline arrived at our house just minutes before we were leaving for a conference. They lived in northern Alberta and had driven all night so we could meet our newest granddaughter, Sarah, before we left. We could hardly wait to hold her.

And then they arrived. I have to admit, even though I gave the adults hugs, I really wanted to hold that little girl. And when she was in my arms, a flood of love washed over me, bonding me to this precious child. I couldn't take my eyes off her; however, we had to leave - my husband was the director of the organization so we couldn't stay home. In three days, we would be back and would be able to spend extended time with them.

Something interesting happened to me during the few minutes I held that little girl. I had just met her, and for only a few minutes, but I couldn't stop thinking about her. She was in my thoughts during the whole trip to the conference and during the whole time I was there. It was amazing!

The Lord brought to mind, the verse, “ You are thinking about me constantly ,” and I realized that God loves me so much that He is thinking about me all the time. He loves me more than I love that little granddaughter. Could anything be more wonderful than the King of Kings loving YOU that much? I can't help but say, “Hallelujah!”

Father, how grateful I am that You are always thinking about and loving Your children. You fill my soul with indescribable joy. Amen.
