Faith Words: Good
One of the most fascinating characteristics of God is His goodness. Throughout scripture, we read of God and His goodness. From creation, God desires to bring good to us.
Since He is good, He gives us what we need, not what we want. When we need it, He disciplines us. When we need it, He comforts us.
God’s goodness prevents Him from being unmerciful and too harsh. He remembers that we are dust (Psalm 103:14b).
His goodness is part of the sparkle of His love. We can’t outrun His goodness because He loves us and surrounds His people (Psalm 125:2).
Every good and perfect gift is from above (James 1:17). Any good in us is from Him, not from us but we can be a reflection of His goodness and so bring Him glory.
God’s goodness is so much more than I can describe. Let’s put His Words in our hearts, so we can declare the goodness of God.
Thank you, Father!

Psalms 119:68 NIV
You are good, and what you do is good; teach me your decrees.
Comments
Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.
Who through faith are shielded by God's power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time.
Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.
Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God.
