100,000 Thoughts
Hi Friends,
Ever turn something over in your mind again, and again, and again? Like you might change the past or shift the future just by stewing about it?
We truly want to trust God with all of it: past, present, future. We know He has our best in mind and hasn’t forgetten about us... but sometimes you just need a little evidence to back that up.
Enter, evidence.
Below, in bold, is a chorus I sang in the prayer room. Below that are a few thoughts.
100,000 thoughts You have toward me
So I’ll follow You anywhere
Yes, I would do anything
I mean, doesn’t that make all the difference?
The Maker of all the universe, who intricately created stars and spun them out into the galaxy, this One who knit the double helix shape of DNA, who breathed life into dust and made a living human being... He is the One who thinks of you.
Not just thinks of you, though. Thinks more thoughts of you than there are bits of sand on the seashore. The mere astronomical number of sand makes this seem like poetry. But I assure you, this is real.
God in the flesh stood in front of us, took air into His lungs, and said, “I know how many hairs are on your head”. Is there anything that Man might ask you to do that you would not do?
I can finally let go of my anxious ambition. I can abandon self-obsession and all my fear of the future. He is thinking of me continually.
I am far safer in His hands than I am when trusting my own ingenuity. He knows with sheer confidence where I have been and where He is leading me. He’s got a plan.
He has a 100,000 thoughts toward me. That’s all the convincing I need.
Jesus, I will follow You anywhere.

P.S. If you’d like to hear this chorus sung, including the spontaneous moments around it, it is on the brand new “Unceasing App” under “100,000 Thoughts”. You can also search for it by my name.

Hi Friends, Last week we talked about the humility of Christ as He sowed His own life like a seed into the ground. There’s more to this story. But first, a chorus I’ve been singing from John 12: See the grain of wheat fall into the groundRight into the curse, thorns upon His browIf He would not fall, He remains aloneI hear Him crying out, “I want them as My own” Jesus is clear in John 12:24, “Unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it produces...
Hi Friends, As we meditated on the events leading up to the cross last month, I sang a phrase that my heart keeps gravitating back to. Here it is: Oh the beauty of the seed as it’s falling. The life of Christ until the cross reads like one long condescension. Lower, lower, lower. From enthroned Lord in Heaven, rightly recognized as God, to woundable, dependent flesh in the arms of a mother. The height differential is so great that it appears He is free-falling. But He’s actually choosing each...
Hi Friends, Is there ever more hopeful a day than Resurrection Sunday? We worship Jesus Christ, Lord of Glory, the One who eviscerated the power of death and walked out of a sealed tomb. Graves opened up, Satan crushed at last under His heel. This Man, this triumph, forever altered the history of the entire planet. And yet, He is not first recognized as king. He is not seen as judge, not as victor. He is seen as a gardener. Mary Magdalene, having arrived to an empty tomb and alerted Peter and...
