Psalms 139:17
How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!
139:17. How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! He is not alarmed at the fact that God knows all about him; on the contrary, he is comforted, and even feels himself to be enriched. That God should think upon him is the believer’s treasure and pleasure. It is a joy worth worlds that the Lord should think upon us who are so poor and needy: it is a joy which fills our whole nature to think upon God, returning love for love, thought for thought, after our poor fashion.
How great is the sum of them! Thoughts of our pardon, renewal, upholding, supplying, educating, perfecting, and a thousand more kinds perpetually well up in the mind of the Most High. What a contrast is this to the notion of a world without a thinking, personal God! Conceive of a grim providence of machinery—a fatherhood of law! Such philosophy is hard and cold. But a God always thinking of us makes a happy world, a rich life, a heavenly hereafter.
