Ever Mindful
The Lord has been mindful of us; He will bless us.
~ Psalm 115:12
 |
He watches over the whole world to guard His Children from the evils of this world. It is our own choices that hinders us from His total and complete protection. Because God gave of freedom of choice, He has to stand back and watch us go through things that we wouldn't have to if we were under His complete protection. |
 |
He watches over us like a shepherd watches over his herd of sheep. |
"I can set my seal to that first sentence. Yes, Jehovah has thought of us, provided for us, comforted us, delivered us, and guided us. In all the movements of His providence He has been mindful of us, never overlooking us. His mind has been full of us - that is the other form of the word "mindful." This has been the case all along, without a single break.
The next sentence is a logical inference from the former one. Since God is unchangeable, He will continue to be mindful of us in the future, as He has been in the past; and His mindfulness is tantamount to blessing us. The very indistinctness of the promise indicates its infinite reach. He will bless us after His own divine manner, and that forever and ever. Therefore, let us each say, "Bless the Lord, O my soul!""
