“In the multitude of my thoughts within me thy comforts delight my soul.” (Psalm 94:19 in the King James Version of the Holy Bible.) Your thought pattern will affect your spirit. If you find yourself bogged down and depressed, start thinking about the good things God has blessed you with.…
“But I, the LORD, search all hearts and examine secret motives. I give all people their due rewards, according to what their actions deserve” (Jeremiah 17:10 in the New Living Translation of the Holy Bible) This verse gives new meaning to the phrase, “You can read me like a book.”…
“Finally brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report: if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.” (Philippians 4:9 in the King James Version…
For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. (Jeremiah 29:11, Holy Bible, New King James Version)
When a friend has problems, I send a greeting card or a note. Choosing the right words and the best card is important. When an illness is terminal, a humorous get –well-soon card may not be the best choice. A bon voyage card may not be appreciated by a friend who is forced to move because of financial circumstances. When God sees us in uncomfortable situations, He knows what to say. He sends His thoughts of peace and hope for the future. When you read His Word, you will welcome His “Thinking of You” card.
Prayer: Dear God, You saw my future before I was born. You have shown compassion to me through words of encouragement, comfort and peace. You have provided answers in Your Word for all my situations and have given me hope for tomorrow. Thank You for thinking of me. Amen

I was inspired the other day by the words emblazoned on my iced coffee the other day…”Life is getting up an hour earlier to live an hour more.” But getting up an hour earlier to live what kind of life? If I’m waking up an hour early to live an hour…
“But I, the LORD, search all hearts and examine secret motives. I give all people their due rewards, according to what their actions deserve” (Jeremiah 17:10 in the New Living Translation of the Holy Bible)
This verse gives new meaning to the phrase, “You can read me like a book.” Our hearts and minds are like an open book to our Heavenly Father. Our every thought and actions are known to Him. This realization should make us want to cry out, “Search me O, Lord and make me clean!”
Prayer: Lord Jesus, I long for Your approval upon my life. Help me to conduct myself in a manner that is pleasing to You and let everything I say, think and do bring glory to You! Amen.

- How precious are your thoughts about me, O God. They cannot be numbered! (Psalm 139:17, Holy Bible, New Living Translation)
- Precious is described as rare or unique. Something valuable to be treated with care. Although the Psalmist describes God’s thoughts as precious, he proclaims them to be immeasurable. Each of God’s thoughts is precious, a rare jewel, but the highest capacity computer cannot calculate the total.

Prayer : Dear God, Thanks for thinking about me. Your precious thoughts to me are more than the sands of the sea or the stars in the sky. Their value is beyond measure. Amen
