He’s Always Thinking of Me

“The LORD, who is always thinking about us, will bless us.” Psalm 115:12 (GW)

No one cares about my life more than God does. In fact, he cares about my life more than I do.

There’s an old Willie Nelson song, “You Were Always on My Mind.” But the idea behind that song just isn’t true. No matter how much I love someone, they can’t be on my mind all the time.

However, I'm always on God’s mind. He is never not thinking about me. He’s thinking about me right now.

The Bible teaches this over and over. Psalm 115:12 says, “The LORD, who is always thinking about us, will bless us” (GW). And the Living Bible paraphrase of 1 Peter 5:7 says, “Let him have all your worries and cares, for he is always thinking about you and watching everything that concerns you.”

Whatever concerns me concerns God—all the things I'm worried about or afraid about. There is nothing in my life I'm concerned about that God isn’t concerned about, because I'm always on his mind.

Because I'm always on God’s mind, he’s always looking out for me. And that means I can always trust his plan for my life.

Before that first Christmas so many years ago, Mary accepted God’s destiny for her life because she knew God was always looking out for her. After the angel told her that God had chosen her as the mother of his Son, she said, “For he has been mindful of the humble state of his servant” (Luke 1:48 NIV).

What does “mindful” mean? That means God is alert. He’s attentive. He’s aware. He’s focused. He’s paying attention. When nobody else is paying attention to me, God’s paying attention to me. He notices everything. In fact, Jesus said this about my life: “What is the price of two sparrows—one copper coin? But not a single sparrow can fall to the ground without your Father knowing it. And the very hairs on your head are all numbered” (Matthew 10:29-30 NLT).

I don’t know the number of hairs on my head—but God does. That’s how much attention he pays to my life!

God’s mindfulness—his attention, his concern—made Mary trust God with her destiny. So will I trust him with my destiny too?

In summary:

God’s care for me is constant and personal—He is always thinking about me, aware of every detail of my life, and attentive to everything that concerns me. Unlike human love, which can be distracted or limited, God’s love never stops watching over me. The Bible reminds me that the Lord continually blesses and cares for those who belong to Him (Psalm 115:12, 1 Peter 5:7). Just as Mary trusted God with her destiny because she knew He was mindful of her, I too can trust His plan for my life, knowing that He sees, knows, and cares for me more deeply than anyone else ever could.

Bottom line:

God is constantly mindful of me, so I can fully trust His care and plan for my life.

Next steps:

I need to practice trusting God’s mindfulness in a specific area of my life that’s causing worry or uncertainty. Pause, name that concern, and consciously hand it over to Him—reminding myself that He’s already aware, already caring, and already working on my behalf.
