God Is Good

Happy Friday everyone!

We’ve all heard it: "God is good, all the time… and all the time God is good". It almost sounds cliché but I really want you to grasp the meaning behind those words. Despite your current situation, God is good and will remain good.. all the time! Not just sometimes, not once a month, not only on happy days but God is good all the time. Things may change in your life, but God never changes, He is constant.. God is good!

 

The Bible consistently describes God as good. “Good” is the consistent scriptural description of the nature and actions of God. We see this manifested in Bible’s earliest revelation about God and His creative acts, the word “good” is used repeatedly. God described as “good” the things He made on the various days of creation, and the overall work of creation was summarized as “very good” (Genesis 1:4, 10, 12, 18, 21, 25).

When God revealed Himself to Moses and the nation of Israel, it was in these terms: “And the LORD passed before him and proclaimed, ‘The LORD, the LORD God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering and abounding in goodness and truth’” (Exodus 34:6)

The Bible also says in James 1:17 that “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning”. If a gift is “good,” it ultimately comes from God—the unchanging God. “You are good, and do good” (Psalm 119:68). This reminds us that once again, God is good.

You may not see the complete picture or even understand the overall plan that God has for you but let me tell you, it is a good one. The road that has been mapped out for you may not be easy, but it is good—it's very good. God is good, and that goodness is seen as He accomplishes His purpose in your life. Philippians 1:6 reminds us that we must be confident because the good work that God has begun in our lives, He will bring it to completion. So, if you find yourself questioning God’s goodness in your life, remember that you’re only seeing a glimpse of His masterpiece, just wait until you see the whole picture- you will be blown away! In the meantime, declare that God is good….all the time! He’s not done with you.

Be Encouraged, Be Blessed!
