Psalm 139:18

If I would count them, they are more than the sand. I awake, and I am still with you. 

The 'them' here, of course, refers to the thoughts the Lord has. The psalmist again highlights their enormity so that it begins to sink in for us: you are on God's mind! The second half of the verse is a return to the idea of God's omnipresence - He is always with us. Here, I get the idea that the psalmist with imagining these things, the ascending to heaven, the turning to the sea, the counting of God's thoughts - and now he wakes up to reality. And reality is this: God is the Lord, He will never leave you or forsake you. This is not a dream or your imagination; this is the truth of who we are in Christ. You have the Spirit of God dwelling inside you.
