17 How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!
18 If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee.

DCLM Daily Manna For Today MESSAGE:
We know how excited we become when an influential personality in society singles us out of the crowd, calls us by name and places a loving and assuring hand across our shoulders, tapping us gently and saying, “Look here, I have always thought about you. I love you and have wonderful plans for you. Just don’t worry about anything. I have you in my mind and will always support you.” This will indeed remove all fears, worries and anxieties.

Similarly, the psalmist here is excited about God’s thoughts towards him. That the almighty God could focus on and think about him is mind-blowing for him. God had precious plans for him. He said they were very great when he summed up everything God was planning for him. As a result, he resolved to quit the company of wicked and sinful people, to always be on the side of God. He also wanted God to search his heart and free it from all evil ways.
Do you also know that God is thinking about you? Do you know that He has you well captured in His good plans? Yes, there are more than 7 billion people in the world, and you may wonder how God can find the time to look in your direction and think about you. He sees everyone and knows everyone. He knows you by name and thinks about you.
You will not be going around like a helpless orphan when you understand this and believe it firmly. Like the psalmist, all you need to do is ensure that you always stay on God’s side. Quit the company of wicked and sinful men. Allow God to take control of your life and steer clear from sin. Then relax and watch His beautiful thoughts about you come to fruition
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
Relax! You are always in God’s thoughts.

2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
