"He Is Aware"

"For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end." Jeremiah 29:11

In some of the other Bible versions this verse says, "I know the plans that I have for you". How wonderful it is to know that the God of the universe, the one who sees a sparrow when it falls, who calls the stars by name, who clothes the lilies of the field, who spoke a creative word into nothing and brought forth everything, who occupies the throne of the universe, who is worshipped by angels and seraphim, who is the King of kings and Lord of lords, and who has a name that is above every other name, thinks about me. And not only does He think about me, He has a plan for my life.

The Psalmist summed it up correctly when he said, "When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained; what is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him? For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honor." (Psalm 8:3-5) Though God is an awesome God who is so far above us, whose thoughts are so much higher than ours and His ways are so much greater than ours, yet He is mindful of us.

I said all that to say that God is thinking about us, He does have plans for us and He is mindful of us though it may seem as if He isn't. You may like feel this on a personal level and you may feel this way when you look at the events that are happening in the world around us. The whole world is experiencing something- either wars, natural disasters, economic instability, and so on- but this is no indication that the Lord is not still aware of us or has left us. He has not. He is totally aware of everything that is happening in our personal lives and in planet earth as a whole. So be encouraged by allowing those thoughts to comfort your heart at all times.

Have a great day. There is never a moment when God is not aware of what is going on.
