My Best Thought

"Thou, my best thought by day or by night."

God is by default the most valuable thought that may pass through any man's mind. The sheer immensity of His being surpassing our foundational boundaries of time and space make His greatness unimaginable. An attempt at contemplating these and other aspects of His greatness is forever apropos, though paltry in extent.

The question that must press the ever-wandering heart is not "Is He most valuable?" but "Is He most valued in my thinking?" What are the better thoughts that present themselves throughout the resting and hasting of the day? They may indeed be true, just, lovely, etc. They may be valued purely. They may prompt heartfelt expressions of thanksgiving to the Giver. But do these find greater sweetness than the Lover of my soul?
