God Thinks of You Personally
Commentators like Spurgeon and Barnes highlight that God's thoughts are not distant or general, but personal, constant, and focused on you as an individual. Like a loving parent, but infinitely more, God's mind is occupied with the details of your creation, sustenance, and care. His infinite attention is not divided; He thinks of you as if you were the only person in the world.
