How many are God’s precious thoughts toward me?
17 How precious to me are your thoughts, God!
How vast is the sum of them!
18 18 Were I to count them, |they would out number the grains of sand — when I awake, I am still with you.Clearly, we are not able to count God’s thoughts, nor the grains of sand. However, we can attempt to estimate them. Dr. Jason Marshall estimated that they are 5,000 billion grains of sand on earth’s beaches.
Now assuming that
- All the grains of sand are concentrated on the earth’s beaches,
- Dr. Marshall’s estimate is right,
- It’s possible to estimate the number of God’s thoughts,
- Number of God’s thoughts = number of grains of sand, (Psalm 139:18)
- Your lifespan is 150 years (very generous),
- God’s thoughts are evenly distributed throughout your lifetime.
Now, let us calculate:
5,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 / (150*365*24*60*60)
=1,056,993,066,125.49 thoughts per second!
In other words, God’s precious thoughts are directed towards you more than 1 trillion times every second! You may be feeling down, thinking: “no one understands, no one knows”.
Let me tell you, God knows, he cares, he thinks of you all the time. In fact, he is thinking of you right now.
Psalm 139:17-18 (NIV)

Well I really liked studying it. This subject procured by you is very useful for good planning.
Thanks for this article. I’d personally also like to say that it can end up being hard if you are in school and starting out to establish a long credit score. There are many students who are just simply trying to make it through and have a protracted or favourable credit history can occasionally be a difficult matter to have.
