Psalms 139:18
If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee.
139:18. If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand. The task of counting God’s thoughts of love would be never-ending. This is not hyperbole, but the solid fact of inspired statement: God thinks upon us infinitely; there is a limit to the act of creation, but not to the might of divine love.
When I am awake, I am still with thee. Thy thoughts of love are so many that my mind never gets away from them; they surround me at all hours. I go to my bed, and God is my last thought; and when I wake I find my mind still hovering about his palace-gates: God is ever with me, and I am ever with him. If during sleep my mind dreams, it only wanders upon holy ground. The psalmist does not say, “When I awake I return to thee,” but, I am still with thee, as if his meditations were continuous, and his communion unbroken.
