Psalm 139:17 “How precious are Thy thoughts unto me, O God! How great is the sum of them! V.6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it.”
I looked up “precious” in the dictionary and found: “of high price or great value.”
God’s thoughts are of great value! How much value are they to me? How precious are they to me? Are they important enough that I will do everything I can to please Him?
Dad is reading A. W. Tozer’s The Pursuit of God in family devotions. The chapter last night was talking about how important it is to have a hunger and thirst for righteousness; a desire for God and His Word.
If I am going about my day working and I get hungry, I will go find food and eat. Afterwards, I am refreshed. However, if I am not hungry, I won’t even bother seeking food out. I don’t have a desire for it. Likewise, when I have a hunger and desire for God’s Word, I seek it out and it satisfies, refreshes, and fills me. If I do not have a hunger and desire, I won’t seek Him out and therefore, won’t be filled.
Matthew 5:6 says “Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.” In the past couple of years I have been asking God for this hunger and thirst. He has given it to me and has been true to His promise to fill that hunger and thirst. He gives a desire to be more like Him. :)
His thoughts are so precious! I can’t even begin to count them. May God fill your day with His precious thoughts and give you a greater desire for Him and His Word!
Psalm 19:14 “Let the word of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in Thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer.”
