Psalm 139:17 How precious are your thoughts about me, O God. They cannot be numbered! 18 I can’t even count them; they outnumber the grains of sand! And when I wake up, you are still with me!

One definition of “precious” that I found is “favorite”.  I am God’s favorite thing to think about!  He thinks of me with such constancy that there is no way to keep track of it.  As I move about my day, and even while I am sleeping, HE is thinking about me!

I know that when I am excited about something, that is ALL I can think about.  With every waking moment, even in my sleep sometimes, that thing is constantly on my mind.  How much more does God think about me?  And sometimes, my favorite things, or the things that excite me, change, and therefore my thoughts about those things change.  God is unchanging.  I will always be His favorite thing to think about.
Oh God, thank you for thinking of me with such constancy and excitement.  Help me to keep you in that same place in my mind.  May my first thought each and every morning be on You.  As I lay awake so many times at night, unable to sleep, may I turn my thoughts to You.  Let me just ponder your goodness, your faithfulness, your love, your beauty, your character.  You truly are my favorite.
