- Thinks of me
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.
The Lord promises to take thought for me, which implies protection in the form of help and deliverance when He sees what I need. Almighty God, Creator of heaven and earth, is not some far off God who is too big and too busy to notice me. Not only does He notice me; He also thinks about me all the time, curious about what I am going to do and decide. Not only does He think upon me; He also comes to help and deliver when He sees I am in trouble and need.
I may be poor and needy, but I have a rich and powerful God who is watching out for me, protecting and delivering me. I may be like a sheep among wolves, but I have a Good Shepherd who is thinking upon me and ready to deliver whenever I need help. I may be weak in front of my problems, but I have a God who is bigger and wiser than my problems and brings solutions speedily.
Just to be aware that when I turn to Jesus He is already looking at me gives great comfort and security to my soul. I know any moment, any time, any place, that I happen to think about my Lord and my God He is already paying attention, thinking, and ready to help and protect and deliver. He is there ahead of me: reassuring!
