“God
Is Good All The Time”
Do you truly want to reflect the nature of God? I
remember the table blessing from childhood, “God is great, God is good,
and we thank Him for our food.” However in the Old Testament we see a
jealous God. We see a God who acts forcefully against sin. In the Bible
goodness is often translated as generosity. Do you have a sharing
nature? There seems to be little doubt that God has reached out to His
creation, and given us what we need. Love, acceptance, forgiveness, all
of these reflect God’s nature.
God is good! Jesus is even referred to as the “good shepherd.” The Bible
tells us we can reflect the nature of God to others. Are you
compassionate and sympathetic? Do you care about what happens to your
fellow persons? God is good, and we can reflect His nature. We must pay
attention to what is going on around us, and not just be concerned by
our own desires and needs. Come and be challenged. Come and see if God
is good.
In Christ,
