Psalm 100:5 For the Lord is good; His mercy is everlasting, and His truth endures to all generations.
I wonder what you really think about God in your quiet moments? Some people think He's just waiting to punish them and put a black mark against them in His book. Others think He can't possibly forgive them for what they've done. Others think He's too busy to bother with them because He's too big and too far away while many think He's the One bringing diseases on us.
Can I tell you that scripture tells us the opposite to all those things and many of them have been passed down from other people's opinions or experiences.
So I thought we'd start the new year remembering scripture tells us clearly that God is a Good God, that He has already forgiven all our sins in Jesus and when we repent and put our trust in Him He sees us 'in Jesus' clothed in His righteousness not our own.
Scripture tells us He knows everything about us but He still loves us unconditionally, that He is as close to us as our breath, that He cares for us, and about us, that He'll never abandon us. Thank God we are still in the time of His great grace towards mankind until Jesus comes back and that God is our Healer not our destroyer.
So as we start this New Year, I hope we'll all have open hearts and minds to learn more and more about how good God is, how loving and kind He is to us and remember how faithful He has been to us already and will be in the years to come. Remember His mercy endures forever not for 5 minutes till we blow it!
GOD IS GOOD AND HIS GOODNESS AND MERCY ENDURE FOREVER. I think that says it all, don't you? Thank You Lord and praise Your name forever.
Let's start our new year with this thought. We are highly favoured, greatly blessed and deeply loved by God, who is so good.
Have a truly blessed New Year everyone.😊 xx
