Today, we close out Psalm 139 and our focus of how we were each created and designed to be a part of God’s creation and community:(Psalm 139:17-18, 23-24 NLT)How precious are your thoughts about me, O God. They cannot be numbered! I can’t even count them; they outnumber the grains of sand! And when I wake up, you are still with me! … Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. Point out anything in me that offends you, and lead me along the path of everlasting life. (Psalm 139:17-18, 23-24 NLT) As good parents, we think of our kids when they are not with us. We wonder what they’re doing, if they are okay, and hope they know we love them. God as the perfect Father is always with us, but even still He keeps us on His mind. His love, grace, and care keep us on His path to a full life today and eternal life to come.Invite God into your thoughts, your heart. Give Him room to show You His love and keep You close to Him today.Take in these words once again, this time from the Message bible:Your thoughts—how rare, how beautiful!God, I’ll never comprehend them!I couldn’t even begin to count them—any more than I could count the sand of the sea.Oh, let me rise in the morning and live always with you!And please, God, do away with wickedness for good! … Investigate my life, O God, find out everything about me; See for yourself whether I’ve done anything wrong— then guide me on the road to eternal life..How does it feel to know the God of the universe thought are about you right now? You are on His mind, right now.Let’s make the psalmist’s words our prayer: “Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. Point out anything in me that offends you, and lead me along the path of everlasting life. As above, so below.”
