When was the last time you got a phone call and someone said, "I was just thinking of you?" You might have returned the thoughts. I received an email this morning with the subject line: "Thinking of you." It was from a friend I hadn't heard from for a while. Knowing I am in the thoughts of others is a source of great comfort and peace. It is like a security blanket wrapped around me through the ups and downs of life.
David is secure in God's protection. He is filled with praise, giving his testimony, and remembering God's faithfulness and salvation in his life. God's love and truth is with him. It doesn't matter how much his enemies pursue him or whatever life brings. David holds on to God. David knows God is thinking about him. This gives him strength to rise above his circumstances rather than be overcome by them.
In his closing words, David brings together prayer and thanksgiving, "Yet I am poor and needy; may the Lord think of me. You are my help and my deliverer; O my God, do not delay."
Prayer
Father God, I praise Your name. I am grateful that no matter how bad it gets, You are always thinking of me. You are my help and my deliverer. Amen
