Psalms 139:17-18 (KJV)

How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!

If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee.

I note the transition from thoughts to presence. 

The Psalmist begins with the thoughts God has toward him. 

Imagine all the things God concerns Himself with concerning each one of us:

• He hears our prayers 
• He knows our truest needs
• He counts the hairs on our head
• He knows the number of our days 

Truly we could never imagine everything God thinks concerning us. 

Then the Psalmist moves from God’s thoughts about him to his own thoughts about God.

He attempts to number God’s thoughts, to list out the many parts of his life known by and directed under the hand of God. He goes deep into the night in his exercise. This he does until bedtime.

When he awakes God is still with him. His thoughts on the thoughts of God had placed him into the presence of God.
