"On God's Mind"


 "On God's Mind"

Have you ever wondered what's on God's mind? What does He think about? How does He view humanity? In this post, we'll explore five powerful scriptures that give us a glimpse into God's thoughts and feelings.

Psalm 40:5 - The Complexity of God's Thoughts

In Psalm 40:5, David writes:
"Many, Lord my God, are the wonders you have done, the things you planned for us. None can compare with you; were I to speak and tell of your deeds, they would be too many to declare." (NIV)
This verse reminds us that God's thoughts are complex and multifaceted, beyond human comprehension.

Psalm 139:17-18 - God's Constant Thoughts of Us

In Psalm 139, David writes:
"How precious to me are your thoughts, God! How vast is the sum of them! Were I to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand—when I awake, I am still with you." (NIV)
These verses assure us that God is constantly thinking about us, and that His thoughts are precious and loving.

Psalm 8:4 - God's Perspective on Humanity

In Psalm 8, David writes:
"What is mankind that you are mindful of them, human beings that you care for them?" (NIV)
This verse humbles us, reminding us that despite our smallness and insignificance, God is mindful of us and cares deeply for us.

Jonah 1:1-17, 2:1-4, 2:10 - God's Relentless Pursuit of Us

The story of Jonah is a powerful reminder of God's relentless pursuit of humanity. Despite Jonah's attempts to flee from God, He continues to pursue him, calling him to repentance and redemption.

Reflection
