The Gaithers sang a song that always got me to thinking. It was called “When He Was On The Cross (I Was On His Mind).” I used to wonder, “Does God really ever think about me with all the people in the world?” The Bible says He does. You are not just part of creation, you are His creation. If He knows when a sparrow falls to the ground, how much more does He know about you? God’s thoughts about you are more numerous than the sand. That’s pretty incredible! In a world where we are often overlooked and feel unseen, God not only sees you, but thinks of you all the time. You are on God’s mind constantly, and they’re good thoughts. You are more seen and thought of than you know.
Here are some Bible verses on God’s thoughts toward you:
1. When I look at the sky, which you have made, at the moon and the stars, which you set in their places— what are human beings, that you think of them; mere mortals, that you care for them? Yet you made them inferior only to yourself; you crowned them with glory and honor.
Psalm 8:3-5 GNT
2. The counsel of the Lord stands forever, The thoughts and plans of His heart through all generations. Blessed [fortunate, prosperous, and favored by God] is the nation whose God is the Lord, The people whom He has chosen as His own inheritance.
Psalms 33:11-12 AMP
3. For I know the plans and thoughts that I have for you,’ says the Lord, ‘plans for peace and well-being and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.
Jeremiah 29:11 AMP
4. O Lord, our God, no one can compare with you. Such wonderful works and miracles are all found with you! And you think of us all the time with your countless expressions of love— far exceeding our expectations!
Psalms 40:5 TPT
5. How precious are your thoughts about me, O God. They cannot be numbered! I can’t even count them; they outnumber the grains of sand!
Psalms 139:17-18 NLT
