TOPIC: GOD’S GOODNESS IS PASSING
Bible Reading: Exodus 31-33; Matthew 22:23-46.
“I will make all My goodness pass before you, and I will proclaim the name of the LORD before you. I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion” – Exodus 33:19 (KJV)
God’s goodness is always passing us by, but some are not positioned to receive and enjoy it.The glory of God is the same thing as the goodness of God.
To recognize and enjoy the goodness of God, you have to BELIEVE in the goodness of God apart from your works. Jesus told Jairus who was having faith for the healing of his daughter and was told that she had died, “Did I not say to you that if you would believe you would see the glory of God?” (John 11:40). In order words, Jesus was saying, “If you BELIEVE, you will see God’s GOODNESS!”
The Psalmist said in Psalms 27:13, “I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.” There is a connection between what we believe and what we enjoy i.e. God’s goodness. If you do not believe that God is good and that He has your best interest at heart at all times you will not see His goodness when it is passing by because His goodness is always on the move waiting to be located by those who believe.
What you believe eventually will determine whether you will enjoy God’s goodness or not. Start believing today? Expect to see God’s goodness today because it is all around you.
DECLARE: I believe in God’s goodness, because all things are working for me in Jesus’ Name.
