God Is Good by yommyuk: 7:51am On Nov 25, 2015
One of the earliest truths we learn as we mature as a Christian is that God is good. The simplicity of these three words masks the depth of such a remarkable attribute of the Lord. He is absolutely perfect and holy, which means that He alone is the standard of all righteousness. And since the expression of the Father’s goodness is revealed in His actions, all that He does is just and right,
because He cannot violate His own nature.

Also, God does not change. Therefore, it is His character, not our behaviour that determines how He deals with us. This means He is good to us even when we are living in rebellion. As a loving heavenly Father, He responds to our disobedience with discipline, which is designed to restore the broken relationship rather than crush the wayward child.

The Lord’s goodness is expressed in a multitude of ways. He is our Creator, and we are His people. Every breath we breathe is given to us by God. As our loving Shepherd, He watches over us and provides for all our needs. But the greatest expression of divine goodness is the cross of Jesus Christ. What humanly appeared to be the ultimate in cruelty and unfairness was the only way to rescue mankind and prevent eternal separation from the Lord.

Believing in God’s goodness is one of the pillars of our faith. This truth fills us with joy in happy times and grounds us with confidence during periods that feel hard, unfair, or painful. When we don’t understand what the Lord is doing, we can trust His heart and know that He cares for us.

Mark 10:18
And Jesus said to him, "Why do you call Me good? No one is good except God alone.

Psalms 100:5
“For the LORD is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations.”

Psalm 145:9
The LORD is good to all, And His mercies are over all His works
.
James 1:17
Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow.


IT IS WELL GOD BLESS wink
