THE SEED
For the LORD is good; His loving kindness is everlasting and His faithfulness to all generations. Psalm 100:5
We often fail to recognise God’s goodness in difficult circumstances because His ideas are so much higher than ours. We question why horrible things happen to us if God is good. Or, Why is Hell a Real Place? We overlook the fact that His viewpoint is greater to ours (Job 42:1-5). Then we demand that He follow our norms, accuse Him of being unjust, and reject His goodness. When Adam and Eve questioned God’s goodness, suffering and anguish started to occur. They were persuaded by the serpent that the Lord was trying to defraud them of their wisdom. How frequently do we experience the same bitterness? But there is goodness in every restriction, admonition, or order of the Lord. He desires to shield us from the painful effects of sin. God gave us free will so we might choose to love Him, which means His benevolent will might permit horrible things to occur. Sin has painful repercussions, but this doesn’t lessen God’s goodness; for people who love Him, He can make the worst situations good (Romans 8:28). Remember that God is good and cares for you even if you can’t see His hand at work or understand what He’s up to. We may trust His ways even though we may not fully comprehend them.
PRAYER
Oh Lord, thank you for your goodness in my life, give me the power to always recognize and appreciate your goodness in my life, Amen.
