He Is Good

Psalms 100:5 speaks of God’s goodness. It says, "For the LORD is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations."(NIV).

The Scriptural truth of God’s goodness is essential to our Christian maturity. God is good all the time.

Regardless to what we feel, what we know or don’t know or what others tell us, we must believe God is good – all the time.

The Enemy will try to have us think otherwise so he can undermine our faith in a good God. If we don’t believe, we will quickly be overcome in a fallen world filled by devilish distractions, questions, arguments that God is not good and therefore, not worthy to be trusted.

God is good when our prayers are answered. And He is good when other prayers seem to be swallowed up by our sorrow or sit dormant on a shelf for days, weeks and even years waiting for an answer.

His goodness will always exceed our attempts to be good. When we stumble and fall our own goodness can never make up the loss of moral footing. So often our goodness is driven by guilt and shame, an innate desire to be reconciled. Only through His mercy and goodness does the Lord forgive our sins. His goodness instructs us to walk rightly. Psalms 25:8 says, "Good and upright is the LORD: therefore will he teach sinners in the way."

Rest in His goodness, beloved. Everything is under His control and in His care.
