How do I learn God’s thoughts? And why?

Psalm 139:17 “How precious to me are your thoughts, O God!  How vast is the sum of them!” There is only one way to learn how and what God thinks.  We all listen to others thoughts throughout the day.  We evaluate them and either apply them or ignore them.  Not so with God’s thoughts.  We study His thoughts and apply them.  The more we know of God’s thoughts the wiser and more successful we become.  As we age and study we become rich.  We could not be more blessed.

God and knowing you

Psalm 139:13 “For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb.” God has known you since conception.  He is responsible for your conception and development even in your mother’s womb.  No one is closer to you than your Heavenly Father.  The miracle of you is not generally realized.  How can that miracle not be understood? Because most people do not know this passage or do not understand its content.  YOU ARE A MIRACLE OF GOD!!Isn’t that an outstanding thought to begin your day.

How well does God know you?

Psalm 139:1 “O Lord, you have searched me and you know me.” Who knows you better than God?  No one!  Is that good or is that bad?  Both!  Our thoughts are known to Him.  Our actions are known to Him.  Someone might say—so what?  Well, when each of us searches our own hearts we have to come to the conclusion we need a Savior.  God knows that and because of His wisdom and great love for each of us He sent His Son.  That is why we celebrate Christmas, Easter and Ascension every day.

Your purpose

Psalm 138:8 “The Lord will fulfill his purpose, for me; your love, O Lord, endures forever—do not abandon the works of your hands.” This prayer of David’s is also your and my prayer.  Why did God give you life?  He has a specific purpose for you.  We are not aimless wonderers seeking a fortune and trying to enjoy this life.  We are to serve our Savior and fulfill our purpose which He has determined for each of us.  What is God’s purpose for you?

God’s continual presence

Psalm 138:7 “Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you preserve my life; you stretch out your hand against the anger of my foes, with your right hand you save me.” The confidence you and I have in the ever presence of God is unfailing.  Through happiness and sadness God is present.  And we all experience both.  He is always our guide, our protector, our Salvation.  Our fear factor with a strong faith is 0.  We pray God always give us such a faith. Have a great weekend.
