Thinking of You
When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have ordained, what is man that You are mindful of him, and the son of man that You visit him?
- Psalm 8:3-4
One night, probably when David was watching over his sheep, he looked up at the incredible stars and made this statement: "When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have ordained, what is man that You are mindful of him, and the son of man that You visit him?" (Psalm 8:3-4).
It's incredible to think that the Creator of the universe, the Almighty God who knows every star by name, would care about us. And not only does He care about humanity as a whole, but He also cares about us as individuals. Not only does He care about us as individuals, but He also knows about every detail of our lives. God even knows the very thoughts that we think. Jesus said, "Your Father knows the things you have need of before you ask Him" (Matthew 6:8).

Psalm 40:5 tells us, "Many, O Lord my God, are Your wonderful works which You have done; and Your thoughts toward us cannot be recounted to You in order. If I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered." Psalm 115:12 says, "The Lord has been mindful of us; He will bless us."
So even when family and friends have forgotten about you, know this: the Lord is thinking about you. The Lord cares about you and takes an interest in even the smallest details of your life. They might seem trivial to someone else - but not to God. If it concerns you, then it concerns Him.
