How Great is His Goodness Towards Us
Chipo Biti
God is good and that will never change. It who He is.
Time and time again we are reminded in the Bible, God's Word, that his mercy is everlasting. It will never run out. It will never forsake us.
God's mercy is there for us every single day. It is because of God's mercy, we have the confidence in Him that we have. God's word will always reign supreme for an eternity to come.
As God's children, we are automatic recipients of his goodness and mercy, no matter what comes our way. We have a confidence inside of us that can never be found anywhere else. People in the world continue to move up and down, in search of this assurance but they are unable to find it. This is not so for we who are in Christ. We are righteous and we know that the path for the righteousness leads to life.
Our hearts are filled with assurance as a result of what the word of God tells us. The word of God tells us that we are secure in the hands of God. We are told that all things will work out for the good of them who love God. We are told of how we have been justified and glorified thanks to Christ Jesus. We are told, repetitively, to never fear, for God is with us.
People will always try to say things to doubt the existence of God, or to doubt how genuine God's love is, but none of these words will ever be true. They will never measure up to what God says. God's word will reign for generations to come, and all who stop to hear and accept His goodness, in the form of Christ Jesus, will be promised life eternal.
As Christians, we should never be blindsided by the lies the enemy will try to fill our minds with. We know whose word is true and it definitely is not the word of Satan. God's goodness, love, mercy and his truth will never die. They will go from everlasting to everlasting.
Prayer
We always have a reason to rejoice because of the life of Christ that is within us. We are heavenly protected and led by the Spirit of God. For as long as we remain in the shelter of God, the Most High, we will continue to marvel at the great things of God.
Night Prayer
Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.
Inspiration
We humble ourselves before the Lord when faced with the almighty power He possesses. Death is final to us, yet it has no command over the Maker of the heavens and earth. God has authority over all His creation; we feel small, yet mighty and honored, to be loved by Him. We are grateful that the One who holds the world in the palm of His hand also carries our spirits close to His heart and feels we are worthy to experience eternal life.
Prayer
Dear God, we humble ourselves before You. Thank You for considering us worthy of Your love. We devote our spirits to You and are proud to be Your children. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
