Can you count God's thoughts toward you? 

08/04 Daily Exhortation (Heb.3:13; 10:25; Matt.6:11; Luke 11:3)

AUGUST FOURTH!!!

On 8/4, to follow is an 8:4 verse Construction for Instruction (2 Tim.3:16)…

Psalm 8:4 (KJB) What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?

The Creator is SO CONSIDERATE. His mind is FULL of us. He is MINDFUL of us. 

Psalm 139:17-18 17 How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!

18 If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee.

GLORIOUS THOUGHT!!! Note that GOD’S THOUGHTS TOWARD US ARE MORE IN NUMBER THAN THE SAND. ☝️‼️👀

Even when Israel was in the WILDERNESS OF SIN for 40 years (40=Testings and Trials), God was very good to them. See this 8:4 construction: 

Deuteronomy 8:4 (KJB) Thy raiment waxed not old upon thee, neither did thy foot swell, these forty years.

How longsuffering, how merciful, how slow to anger the Lord is!!! There is NO EXCUSE to not want to FELLOWSHIP WITH OUR CREATOR (Amos 3:3; 1 John 1:7). He wants to sup with us. 

God has infinite thoughts toward us (more in number than the sand) and how much do we think of Him? 

Psalm 10:4 The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts.

God is not controlled by His feelings so much as HIS HOLY NATURE. But that does not mean God has no feelings!!

We are made in His image, in His likeness. Just as we have feelings, and can be hurt, God also has feelings and can be hurt.

 

Isaiah 63:9 In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the angel of his presence saved them: in his love and in his pity he redeemed them; and he bare them, and carried them all the days of old.

⚠️DAILY JESUS WALK ALERT⚠️ Yesterday, I used a software that gives a truly random verse out of 31,102. I rarely use it. This time, I prayed for what God wanted. Look where it landed: Deut. 8:2 which led to read 8:3 on the date of 8/3. And I read Deut. 8:4 with not knowing this charge next day would be resurrected with a Deut. 8:4 emphasis above! This illustrates this very post.

Deuteronomy 8:2-4 And thou shalt remember all the way which the LORD thy God led thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, and to prove thee, to know what was in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep his commandments, or no. And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD doth man live.

Thy raiment waxed not old upon thee, neither did thy foot swell, these forty years.

So,  Deut. 8:5 enjoins us to CONSIDER and 8:11 to "FORGET NOT THE LORD." Jesus THOUGHT OF EVERYTHING. HE IS SOOO CONSIDERATE! 

Hebrews 3:1, 7:4, and 12:3 all say that WE ARE TO CONSIDER CHRIST. He considers us and is CONSIDERATE to us. Can we return the consideration today and CONSIDER HIM? 

Are you considerate of your Creator after all that HE’S DONE FOR YOU? His thoughts toward you are more in number than the sand, He pours out His grace upon you, He protects you in unknown ways, innumerable ways, He tries you and hopes you will fellowship with Him during the hard times, HE WANTS TO BE THE FOURTH MAN IN THE FIRE FOR YOU, He wants to commune with you, He put us here FOR HIS PLEASURE PER THE BOOK OF REVELATION AND THE ENTIRE BIBLE...

He wants to share with us as JOINT-HEIRS OF HIS KINGDOM. Stop hurting the Lord by grieving His Spirit, stop ignoring Him, stop holding grudges against him, stop shying away from Him, DRAW NEAR UNTO HIM. Make him the APPLE OF YOUR EYE AND DESIRE TO BE THE APPLE OF HIS EYE.

Psalms 103 says we are to command our soul and all that is within us to BLESS THE LORD! Will you BLESS God today? 

To not consider somebody is to be INCONSIDERATE. Let it not be so named among us today, Brethren. God is mindful of us, and visits us. LET US BE MINDFUL OF HIM, AND VISIT HIM this 8/4. 

Bless the Lord, -r <3
