God’s Thoughts About You

 

 

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

 

 

God thinks about you. Not only that, He thinks thoughts of peace about you, not evil. If you consider the reason Jesus came to earth, you can understand God’s thoughts about you.

 

“For the Son of Man did not come to destroy men’s lives but to save them” (Luke 9:56). 

 

God loved you so much that He sent Jesus to give His life to save you. His purpose is to love and not condemn you (John 3:16-17). He has thoughts of an everlasting relationship with you. He draws you in lovingkindness (Jeremiah 31:3).

 

Jesus came to Nazareth following His temptation by Satan in the wilderness. He entered the synagogue and, opening the scroll, He read:

 

“The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me,

Because He has anointed Me

To preach the gospel to the poor;

He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted,

To proclaim liberty to the captives

And recovery of sight to the blind,

To set at liberty those who are oppressed;

To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord” (Luke 4:18-19). 

 

God’s thoughts are always on you. Jesus came to heal you and set you free of sin, sickness, and oppression. God is focused on your health and welfare. He wants you to prosper and be healthy just as your soul prospers (3 John 2). He desires for you to have a hopeful future.

 

“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen” (Hebrews 11:1).

 

Faith is the proof of things you can’t see. God’s thoughts about your future can’t be seen, but they are just as real as each new day. Faith is believing God’s thoughts about your future in this present moment and knowing they are just as real as the sun coming up tomorrow.

 

If God is thinking about your welfare, health, peace, joy, and purpose, what are you thinking about? Faith is powerful when your thoughts agree with God’s thoughts. But if you are double-minded about God’s thoughts, you limit their potential to work in your life (James 1:6-8).

 

Your days were fashioned long before you ever came into being (Psalms 139:16). God loved you first before you loved Him (1 John 4:19). His thoughts toward you are good (Jeremiah 29:11).

 

“How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God!

How great is the sum of them” (Psalms 139:17).

 

Do you agree with God’s thoughts about you? How precious are they to you?
