“For I know the thoughts I think toward you, saith the LORD…” (Jeremiah 29:11).
Isn’t it absolutely amazing to realize that the Lord thinks about us? It is incredible to realize that we who are so very, very lowly would ever be in the thoughts of the Lord God Almighty. Frankly, it is rather hard to express it, isn’t it? Don was thinking about those words that he read in his devotions that morning. He had overslept slightly, so his morning getting ready for work was a little on the rushed side. Still he was more than happy to take some time with the Lord in His Word. As he was reading through the Old Testament book of Jeremiah, he came to this verse today which speaks about the Lord knowing what He is thinking about us. As he drove to work, Don prayed, “Lord, You are so awesome. I am not. You are high and lifted up. I am not. Yet you think about me. I am overwhelmed with love and gratitude toward You.” It was a great drive in to work that day.
For today: How will this play out in your life today?
