THE GOODNESS OF GOD

Psalm 107:8 (Nkjv) Oh that men would give thanks to the Lord for His goodness, and for His wonderful works to the children of men!

When the enemy tries to bring lots of negative things to our attention through media, circumstances or whatever, that's the time to keep reminding ourselves about the goodness of our God and how He has never changed and will never let us go. He always was, and still is, our good God.

Psalm 100:4-5(Nkjv) ...Be thankful to Him and bless His name. For the Lord is good; His mercy is everlasting...

Psalm 145:9 The Lord is good to all, and his mercy is over all that he has made.

Psalm 119:68 You are good and do good; 

Nahum 1:7 The Lord is good, a stronghold in the  day of trouble; 

Exodus 33:18-19 And he (Moses) said, "Please show me Your glory." And He said, "I will make all My goodness pass before you and will proclaim the name of the Lord before you. ....

Isn't it interesting that God equates His glory with His goodness? That is the essence of who He is, that is His heart towards you and me. He only ever wanted or wants to do mankind good. James says every good and perfect gift comes down to us from our good God. (James 1:17) 

When we look at Jesus He was always doing good and He told us He only ever did what He saw His own Father doing - doing good.😊

So for those days when someone tries to tell us God is not good because of a tragedy that has occurred, or our circumstances, or the media try to make us doubt it, or if we have one of those 'wobbly moments', just keep these wonderful verses in mind (and countless others we could find) and remember the amazing goodness of God in sending His Son Jesus to the Cross for each one of us and the multitude of blessings He has poured into our lives. He gives every single one of us the opportunity to accept Jesus as our personal  Saviour. If you’ve never actually done that, why not do it today, while you still can?😊 (There is a prayer to help you on the side of the Blog when you click on Web Version if you scroll this page down.)🙂

Praise You and Thank You Lord for Your goodness to each one of us. Amen.
