Psalm 34:8 NLT
Taste and see that the Lord is good. Oh, the joys of those who take refuge in him!
What does the goodness of God look like? Well, the answer to that depends on your perspective.
The goodness of God looks like a new mom holding a brand new baby and taking in the sweet moments.
The goodness of God looks like brothers and sisters who recently went through losing their home to a fire but now getting what they need for the school year.
The goodness of God looks like a couple who just got married and beginning to settle in together to life and what God is doing with them.
The goodness of God looks like chasing two precious little girls around the fountain as the giggle and scream in the middle of a hotel in a foreign country after waiting for several hours to check in.
The goodness of God looks like hugging a lady who just learned that her health tests didn’t go as planned but knowing God has a special plan.
The goodness of God looks like a couple who just moved to town and begins attending church and excited to walk even closer to God.
You get the picture, and there are so many more scenes. There are many more opportunities to see how God is working and that He is good. May we come to know that the goodness, in all it’s different experiences so that we can share with others.
The Goodness of God by Bethel Music
I love You, Lord
Oh Your mercy never fails me
All my days, I've been held in Your hands
From the moment that I wake up
Until I lay my head
Oh, I will sing of the goodness of God
And all my life You have been faithful
And all my life You have been so, so good
With every breath that I am able
Oh, I will sing of the goodness of God
I love that song. Sweet reality of who God is. As I have said many, many times “God is good”, and another line in that song says “cause your goodness is running after me. That is so good.
James 1:17 NLT
Whatever is good and perfect is a gift coming down to us from God our Father, who created all the lights in the heavens. He never changes or casts a shifting shadow.
Let’s purse and share His goodness with others.
Finally… next week I will be on a mission trip to Cuba. The middle of the week I will be with a team from a church in Havana that will be serving up in a mountain village where they have very little resources. Pray for this trip, and thank you for helping make this ministry successful. God is good.
