How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!
God's thoughts toward the believer are precious and great beyond counting, more numerous than sand. The verse is gratitude for the abundance of His care and for the assurance of still remaining with Him upon waking. Meditating on those thoughts gives comfort and strength in long affliction.
Those thoughts are His goodness, mercy, compassion, tender pitying love, sustaining grace, and personal presence with Jesus that rolls away darkness in severe pain and sleepless nights. They include His sufficient grace for endurance and His preservation of eyesight, memory, and a clear active mind to see the beauty and preciousness of truth.
To be still with Him when awake means to wake with praise and love as the first thought and expression of the heart. His precious thoughts mean He counts the person of value, shown by paying the infinite price of Christ's own blood and giving His life to save. That price calls for giving life back to Christ in cooperation for the saving of the soul, so His death is not in vain.
