Daily Bible Nugget #525, Psalm 40:17

The Nugget:

Psalm 40:17  But I am poor and needy; yet the Lord thinketh upon me: thou art my help and my deliverer; make no tarrying, O my God.

My Comment:

The part of this verse that most impressed me is the statement, “yet the Lord thinketh upon me.” It is good to know that we are not anonymous to God. He knows and cares for each of us individually and specifically.

Using the Bible study method of consulting the cross references for any given verse, I have found that the cross references given in The Ultimate Cross Reference Treasury are especially encouraging and instructive. I share the cross references below for those who are able to take the time to study them.
