"But I am poor and needy; Yet the Lord thinketh upon me." Psalm 40:17
If he thinks upon you, his thoughts are thoughts of good, thoughts of peace, and not thoughts of evil. Does he not read your heart? Does not his holy eye look into the very secret recesses of your soul? Still more, if he thinks upon you, will he leave you, give you up, abandon you in the hour when you need him most? No! He who thought upon you in eternity, will think on you in time, in every trial, in every temptation, in every sickness, and in the solemn hour when soul and body part.
Through life and death he will still think on you. He will bring you at last to that heavenly abode where these two things will be blessedly combined - the Lord's ever thinking upon his Zion, and his Zion ever thinking upon him.
