Eight Octillion
Eight Octillion…..that’s the number of grains of sands scientist estimate make up the Sahara desert. How about the sands on the beaches of the world? 7,500,000,000,000,000,000. How do you even say that?? Aren’t you so glad to have that little bit of information? You wonder why in the world would I even know that? Well, I read a verse from Psalm 139:17-18……and then I just had to know so I googled it! Did I pique your curiosity? Here is what those verses say:
………………………………………………………………
………………………………………………
Try to wrap your mind around that awesome thought. How many times does God think of you? More than the grains of sands. Even dividing the days of your life into the sum total of the grains of sand, God must be thinking millions upon millions of thoughts about you every day. The end of verse 18 says that when you wake up, God is still with you. Chemo nights can be long nights. I could usually count the days after a treatment and know the 3rd and 4th nights would be the roughest. I found I could be more comfortable on a Lazy Boy chair than in bed. My friend Karen, who also went through chemo says it’s a club…..the ‘Lazy Boy chair club’. I hope you never have to join it, but even if you do find yourself tossing and turning on a Lazy Boy, God never stopped thinking of you. Those long nights I would drift in and out of troubled sleep. Yet when I would awake, God was in the middle of a thought about me. This morning when you rolled over and became conscious, you caught God right smack dab in the middle of a thought about you. Don’t you just love that? God really cares about you. He made you in such a way that you would long for ‘something’ and eventually hopefully find Him. He put God receptors in your heart so that nothing else would satisfy……as hard as we try to attach those receptors with earth stuff….. it won’t work for long….eventually that longing for ‘something’ returns. If you haven’t, now is the time to attach to God. I’m stuck like glue to Him. I’ve never been sorry for that decision to give Him my heart, my soul, my life and follow His lead. It’s like my heart found rest….no matter what surrounds me in life…..no matter what clouds roll in, those receptors are happy…. God is in His rightful place. He is going to stay with me and see me through whatever happens. Why, He just had another thought about me……and you!
