The Lord is good

 

Text: Nahum1:7 (KJV)
The Lord is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that trust in him.
I believe when most of you read this topic, your response would have been “all the time”. Although this is a common response, and we tend to say it without thinking, the truth is, God has really been good to us, and we constantly encounter His goodness in different dimensions. Truthfully, it will be an understatement if I asked you your recent personal experience of His goodness because, to be frank, we still see God’s goodness dwelling with us even now. If you cannot remember any, take a few seconds to think because if you think, you will definitely find something to be grateful about. The truth is, God’s goodness radiates all around us, and He is good and will continue to be good. We always need to remember that He is good and is strong enough despite those roaring storms. And we really need a man out of trouble to actually bring us out of one. Psalm 100:5- For the Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.  
If you try to ask yourself, why is He good to me? You might end up feeling like you are not worth His good works, but in that state, you must remember it is His mercy and love that has kept you this far. Also, remember, God is good because He is generous, great and His goodness is generational. We are blessed with this good God, and He is always available either in big or small issues or in good or bad times. We can truly depend on him as a good God, not based on what you did but what Jesus did. We should celebrate His name and give back thanks to Him because He deserves it. Psalm 135:3- Praise the Lord; for the Lord is good: sing praises unto his name; for it is pleasant. Although, we are enjoying good right now, but there is more and best in store for us, and we need to be grateful even for the ones to come, so always remember you are worth His good.   
PRAYER POINTS:  
1.Father, please help me to hold strong to this good God forever, in Jesus name.
2.Father, thank you for making a great light to shine even in the midst of our darkness because of your goodness, in Jesus name.
