What Does God Think?

Many, O LORD my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward Psalm 40:5

Who can know the thoughts of God? Who can fathom the knowledge of the Almighty? The thoughts of God are not like the thoughts of man. The thoughts of God are far higher and loftier and wiser than man’s thoughts. My heart today is somewhat curious. I began to wonder the other night about the thoughts of God. My simple reflection is this, “What does God think of me?” Now, I know right now some men are scheming out grand theological thoughts and philosophies about God thoughts towards me as far as salvation, sanctification, and righteousness. But I want to be far simpler than those ideas. I wonder today, “What does God think about certain things on an intimate level?” Let us think for just a moment about, “What does God think?”

I began to ponder, “What does God think of creation?” On the days of God’s creation, He declared with a thunderous voice, “It is good”. He delighted in the handy work which He labored to form. But now after years of sin have ravaged His creation, what does He think about it? Does his heart break as he looks at the barrenness of the African desert? Does His eye fill with tears as He looks at the pollution that fills the skies over the cities of the world? What does He think of creation?

I began to wonder, “What does God think as He looks at our churches?” Is He satisfied with the work we are accomplishing or is He frustrated because of the division that splits our aisles? What does He think of the words that come from the pulpits? Is He angry at the apathy we have towards sin? Is He fuming because we fail to uphold His commandment to go into all the world. Does He look at your congregation and repent at the fact He paid such a high price for you? What does God think of our churches?

My mind was ultimately led to the thought, “What does God think about the Christian?” What does He think about you? What does he think about the testimony you maintain? What does He think when He looks at your life? Could it be said of you that you bring joy to the heart of God? Is He pleased with your attitude? Is he thrilled with your witness? Is He happy at your tone towards the hurting souls that surround you? Sadly, in the day we are living, worldliness has permeated our churches and poisoned Christians? So I leave you with this sobering thought, “What does God think when He looks at you?”
