Psalm 94:11 The Lord knows the thoughts of man, That they are futile.

Our deep thoughts about wisdom, theology, philosophy and other intellectually focused things are but nothing compared to God’s thoughts for us.

We may like to think our deep musings of all thinks like that are highly sought after or deeper and more meaningful than others people, but they are nothing compared to God’s thoughts.

We like to think of ourselves as highly intellectual because God said we should be overseers of the land; we may be in comparison to the other mammals and animals, but not in comparison to God.

And yet God’s thoughts for us are deeper than this all!

Psalm 139:18 If I should count them, they would be more in number than the sand; When I awake, I am still with You.

We can never really understand just how much God loves us or how much He thinks of us, but the psalmist tries to give us a bit of an insight.

If we try to count the number of thoughts God has of us they would far outnumber the grains of sand on a beach.

Whilst that may sound like a bit of a dream, no matter whether we are awake or asleep, God continues to be with us. No thought is too great for Him. No dream too high for Him.

Psalm 16:8 I have set the Lord always before me; Because He is at my right hand I shall not be moved.

We don’t often think about keeping the right person at our right hand anymore like they did back when this was written; but we do think of keeping the right people in our lives still.

If we are willing to keep God in our lives at all times, we are guaranteed of keeping the right person in our lives; He wants to be able to guide us and keep us continually.

Setting God before us should simply mean keeping our eyes on Him and His ways at all times.
