God Is Good
Oh, taste and see that the LORD is good; Blessed is the man who trusts in Him! Oh, fear the LORD, you His saints! There is no want to those who fear Him. The young lions lack and suffer hunger; But those who seek the LORD shall not lack any good thing. (Psalms 34:8-10 NKJV)
God is a good God! All the time! We must have this truth from the Word of God rooted and established deep inside our hearts and never depart from it!
Jesus said in John 10:10 “The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows)”. John 10:10 AMP)
This verse explains that anything that comes to steal from you, kills or destroys anything in your life is from the enemy, or the devil himself! Jesus also tells us here that having a good life, an abundant life filled up until your life overflows and enjoying life is from Him! This verse is what we need to judge everything by. If it’s good….it’s God! If it’s bad….it’s the devil!
James tells us in Chapter 1:12-13 God blesses those who patiently endure testing and temptation. Afterward they will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him. And remember, when you are being tempted, do not say, “God is tempting me.” God is never tempted to do wrong,and he never tempts anyone else.
Wrong teaching has told people that God uses bad things to teach us “lessons”. This is not what the Word of God tells us. Over and over throughout the Bible we read that God is good!
The LORD is good to all, And His mercies are over all His works. Psalms 145:9
For You, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive, And abundant in lovingkindness to all who call upon You. Psalms 86:5
1 Chronicles 16:34 O give thanks to the LORD, for He is good; For His lovingkindness is everlasting.
Psalms 106:1 Praise the LORD! Oh give thanks to the LORD, for He is good; For His lovingkindness is everlasting.
Psalms 100:5 For the LORD is good; His lovingkindness is everlasting And His faithfulness to all generations.
If you have any doubts that God is good just go to the Bible and you can see it repeated over and over!
