Grains of Sand

Ps 139:17 How precious are your thoughts about me, O God! They are innumerable! 18 I can't even count them; they outnumber the grains of sand! And when I wake up in the morning, you are still with me!

David, beautiful David...Shepherd and king, songwriter and warrior, hero and outcast. and oh how he loved God. God even called him, 'a man after my own heart!'

His passion for God was evident in his writing. Sometimes I'll watch people singing his words and I'm amazed at how they don't seem to hear them. Like when he has stripped down to a linen garment and dances through the streets of Jerusalem, praising God. His wife, Ex-king Saul's daughter, Michal calls him, 'undignified.' David replies:

2 Samuel 6:21--I will celebrate before the Lord. 22 I will become even more undignified than this, and I will be humiliated in my own eyes.

Sometimes, I go to the beach and just hold a handful of sand. God's thoughts about me outnumber the grains of sand in my hand. They outnumber the grains on the beach or even on the earth. God loves me. and I want to dance.

and it's not just me He's thinking about, He's thinking about you too. His Love stretches limitlessly to every creature. Let His mind be in you. That mind is a mind of humility, of looking out for others first, of 'having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.' (Phil 2)

We're all in this amazing sand sea of Love so let's dance.
