Someone is Thinking Well of You

Someone is Thinking Well of You

David the psalmist asked God, 'what is man that you are mindful of him, and the son of man that you visit him'.
That question points to the fact that God has us in mind and thinks well of us. I'm sure none of us can escape His thoughts. Not only does He deals with each of us as an entity, He is mindful of us to the most minute details of our lives and destiny.

Psalm 139 is a classic on this aspect of God in His relationship and dealings with us. That attribute of His that makes Him to so concern Himself with details concerning us in our billions and to care for us is one of those that makes Him the omnipotent God that He is.

Man can hardly fit in into such mould. Hardly can we describe any man to be such concerning another. Man doesn't have the mental capacity or the moral disposition to follow such details and to be ready to care that much except such has broken the frontier of humanity to divinity as one who has matured to the point of freely expressing the new man within created in the image and likeness of God.

Even when the details of needs are obvious and utmost weakness is revealed, man would still fall to his base selfish nature; a suckling mother can still forget her suckling child, the possibility is always there. It is a moral dip that man carries in his fallen state.

Even the best intentioned amongst men still forget and only remember when their negligence may have caused lots of harm.

In our negligence we still suffer from that moral dip from each other. We forget others we shouldn't, and others too forget us both deliberately or not. Sometimes the care we show are laden with all sorts of negative emotions; sometimes we feel it as a heavy burden and unnecessary disturbance; at other times and on to the other extreme, it makes us feel as if we are God, who provides all to the ones we care about, and so be accorded the worth.

That makes many unable to either ask for or receive help from people. It might cost more than what you gain. And so we can hardly trust any good being done to us even from the most sincere of hearts.

But within this complexity of man, there is still someone somewhere aside God but influenced by God who thinks well of you. Someone you may not know and someone you may not expect anything of such from.

2Kings 4:8-10 shows such a case. Elisha would pass by the Shunammite woman's house without knowing that the woman was watching. Then one day she compelled him to come in and eat. Later, she spoke to her husband and they built him a house without any strings attached. Even when Elisha discovered she was without a child, she was reluctant about receiving such a favor from the man of God.

The same with Jesus, with the array of His secret admirers and night visiting disciples.

That God is mindful of you is a sign that His secret agents are mindful of you too. It may look as if no one cares about you, it may look as if even those who showed some care would take a pound of your flesh in return, amidst all of such people, there is someone thinking well of you and such would 'strike' very soon releasing the refreshing juice of the inner and deep-seated love and care...

I'm sure that at your time of greatest need and confusion God is there and He has His people around to manifest.

In the time of greatest denigration God is there to bring honor beyond expectations!

In the time of greatest rejection and emotional pain a hand of love and a warm sincere embrace is outstretched towards you.

God is mindful of you and a 'shunammite woman' is waiting to execute God's plan beyond your consciousness and imagination!

When the disciples faced such a storm, Jesus broke all the laws of nature, walked on the roaring sea to save them...if it'll take every law to be broken, God and His agents will reach you...just believe and wait!

When all is gone... remember there's still someone lurking in the corner watching from far to do you good!

The particular person you may not know...but because God cares and would carry your burden without being stressed, He has prepared a raven and/or a widow woman as in the case of Elijah, or a shunammite woman as in the case of Elisha, a ravenous bird from a far country as in the case of Isaiah (Is 46) to come to you to execute his good counsel of care in your life. So treat all well!

Think about it!

Good morning!
