God Is Good

God is Good

Who is a God like You, pardoning iniquity and passing over the transgression of the remnant of His heritage? He does not retain His anger forever, because He delights in mercy. He will again have compassion on us, and will subdue our iniquities. You will cast all our sins into the depths of the sea.” Micah 7:18-19

Bible Reading: Isaiah 43:18-19

God is a good God. He is not only good but everything about Him is great. No wonder the psalmist says “come and taste and see that the Lord is good” (Psalm 34:8). Even in His anger, He shows mercy and love. “But You, O Lord, are a God full of compassion, and gracious, long-suffering and abundance in mercy and truth. (Psalm 86:15)”. When God speaks, He speaks life. His plan is lovely and excellent. For instance, here’s what He says about you: ‘For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end’ (Jeremiah 29:11). God does not speak out of compulsion, He speaks when necessary and He does not speak to cajore you, rather He speaks what He can do.

For a user of this devotional, God will do a new thing in your life. ‘Why will God do a new thing in my life?’ You may ask. God will a new thing in your life because He loves you. ‘Yea, I have loved thee with everlasting love; therefore, with loving-kindness have I drawn thee’ (Jeremiah 31:3). He is a good God. He loves and cares about you. Love moved God to give His only Son, Jesus Christ to die for our iniquity. Because He love us, He gave us the Holy Spirit to tabernacle in and with us. Now we have become the righteousness of God through Christ Jesus and we have become the temple of God. Isn’t that amazing?

Did you know that righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne; mercy and truth go before His face? (Psalm 89:14). God is our heavenly Father who loves and cares about us. He knows your name, you are engraved in the palms of His hands and your walls are before Him (Isaiah 49:16), He knows the number of the hairs on your head (Luke 12:7), He supplies our needs according to His riches in glory through Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:19), and He also gives us power to make wealth (Deuteronomy 8:18). He shows His love to us as He meets our needs and as he disciplines us. Dear beloved, I encourage you to believe in God’s words for your life this year and beyond.

Action Point: Thank God for His word and ask Him to do something new in your life this year. Be specific about your request!
