Psalms 40:17 - "I am poor and weak, yet the Lord is thinking about me right now! O my God, you are my helper. You are my Savior; come quickly, and save me. Please don't delay!"

Bible Commentary on that verse: "The leader of your country probably does not know you by name, let alone think about you. But the King of all creation, the Ruler of the universe is thinking about you right now. Allow this truth to buoy your self-esteem. If God always has us in his thoughts, perhaps we could do more to keep HIm in our thoughts."

My thoughts: There are lots of places we can be "poor and weak" outside of money and health. What a thought to know that God always is thinking about us...........and He doesn't think 'bad thoughts' about us either! Sometimes when I think badly of myself for something I said, or didn't say; did, or should have done, I think, "But God what do you think about me?" And it seems, He gently reminds me.........how wonderful I am and how much He loves me.............now that is a loving, caring Heavenly Father!
