October 20 - He Thinks About You.

Psalm 40:17
“But I am poor and needy; yet the Lord thinketh upon me: thou art my help and my deliverer; make no tarrying, O my God.”
 
David acknowledged that he was poor and in need of the Lord’s help. He did not think much of himself, but God doesn’t look on the outward appearance, He looks on the heart. He even called David “a man after his own heart”.
 
Regardless of the situation or state you are currently in, the Lord thinks about you! He wants to help you and deliver you, if only we will come to Him. He not only thinks about you, the Bible says that many are His thoughts about us!
 
Psalm 40:5
“Many, O LORD my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.”
 
How did David know that “the Lord thinketh upon me”?
God had provided for David time and time again. Take the time today to reflect on all the different ways that the Lord has provided for you. Physical, emotional, financial, spiritual needs…every time one of your needs are met, the Lord has thought about you. It’s no wonder that David pinned:
Psalm 139:17
“How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!”
 
You may feel unimportant, but He thinks about you.
You may think that no one cares, but He cares for you.
 
Jeremiah 29:11
“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.”
