God’s Precious Thoughts

2 Samuel 4-5; Psalms 139; Matthew 16

“You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar…How precious to me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them!”

Psalm 139:2, 17

David understood that the Lord could know his thoughts and value the state of his heart (mind, will, and emotions). But David also knew the intimacy of knowing God’s thoughts through the Spirit of God. This level of intimacy and relationship with God as expressed through the Psalms (David’s prayer and worship journal) is now available to every Spirit-filled child of God. This communion with the Father and the Son through the Spirit when God makes his “home” within us is the greatest miracle on earth! This is the reason Jesus was so excited to send the Spirit of Truth to his disciples following the resurrection. The Spirit would make known to the disciples the truths, teachings, and will of the Father.

How precious are God’s thoughts to us?

“Lord Jesus, thank you for sending the Holy Spirit and communing with us, for your glory.”
