PRAISE THE LORD FOR HE IS GOOD
God is soooooooooo good! He is good all the time! All the time He is good!
Today I did a study on the goodness of God, and when I finished my study, I was singing and shouting praises to God because I realized what all He has done for me and continues to do for me personally every day. I started my day feeling a bit overwhelmed with all that I had to do and four hours later I finished praying. I thought I understood goodness before but I did not have a clue of what His goodness really means to us.
He is kind and loving all the time toward all people. That is what His goodness is. He is good. There are so many scriptures on goodness but I am going to focus on Psalm 145, which is labeled in my Bible: The Goodness of the Lord.
Psalm 145:1-3, Amplified Bible
I will extol You, my God, O King; and I will bless Your name forever and ever [with grateful, affectionate praise]. Every day [with its new reasons] will I bless You [affectionately and gratefully praise You]; yes, I will praise Your name forever and ever. Great is the Lord and highly to be praised; and His greatness is [so vast and deep as to be] unsearchable.
Romans 11:36, Amplified Bible
For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. [For all things originate with Him and come from Him; all things live through Him, and all things center in and tend to consummate and to end in Him.] To Him be glory forever! Amen (so be it).
One generation praises His works to another and declares His mighty acts. I am speaking of and meditating on the glorious honor of His majesty and of His wonderful works (things, words). I am speaking of the might of His tremendous acts and I am declaring His greatness. I pour forth like a fountain the fame of His great and abundant goodness and am singing aloud of His rightness.
The Lord is gracious and full of compassion, slow to anger and abounding in mercy and loving-kindness. The Lord is good to all, and His tender mercies are over all His works, the entirety of things created. O Lord, all Your works are praising you, and I as Your loving one bless You, confess Your goodness and Your name and praise You. I continue to speak of the glory of Your Kingdom and talk of Your awesome power, a power which makes known to the sons of men Your mighty deeds and the glorious majesty of Your Kingdom.
Lord, I thank You that You hold up all Your children who are falling and that you raise up all those who are bowed down. The eyes of all of us are waiting for You, looking and watching and expecting You, to give us good in due season. You open Your hand and satisfy every living thing with favor.
Lord, You are righteous and gracious and merciful to all. You are near to all who call upon You in truth, with sincerity. You are fulfilling the desires of those who reverence You and hearing their cry and saving them. You preserve all those who love You.
My mouth shall speak praises to You my Lord continually, and let all my flesh bless Your holy name forever.
