Charles H. Spurgeon on Psalms 40:17

The Lord thinketh upon me. Admire the condescension, and then consider that this is —

1. A promised blessing.

2. A practical blessing —he thinks upon us to supply, protect, direct, sanctify, &c.

3. A precious blessing —kind thoughts, continual, greatly good. He thinks of us as his creatures with pity, as his children with love, as his friends with pleasure.

4. A present blessing —promises, providences, visitations of grace.
