"God is good" its a statement that is told to kids in vacation bible school. It was said before every meal I ever ate when I was young. It is on many stickers that hang on kids shirts. Its very easy to understand and very easy to recite, but is it over used?? I dont think so at all! Under- meant? maybe but certainly not over used! I dont think that it is said enough! We all try to use super fancy words in prayer and in small group meetings but the entire understanding of the Lord can be summed up in three words... God is good!!!
God is so good, and before I really focused my life the Lord I thought this was just another meaningless religious saying. The fact of it is, that God IS good and God keeps his children's best interest in mind. God created us so that we could love and worship him. God does not NEED any of us and if He wanted to He could wipe the earth completely clean of sinful people, us. The Lord provides for our every need, Luke 11:9-13 "So I say to you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; and he who seeks, finds; and to him who knocks it will be opened. Now suppose one of you fathers is asked by his son for a fish; he will not give him a snake instead of a fish, will he? Or if he is asked for an egg, he will not give him a scorpion, will he? If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy spirit to those who ask Him?" This is such an awesome example of God the Father, not God the ruler or God the master. God is very genuine and very sincere and longs to provide for his children! God will take care of us and never lead us down paths we cant handle and never present things in our lives that will break us to pieces. We get so stressed over school, and money, and relationships but we need to lean on the Lord and give all of our worries to Him because alone we could never survive in this world!
God is good, God is very very good! We need to adopt this phrase as sinful people and never forget that we are His children, and the Father provides for his children!

ReplyDeleteWOW God is TOO REAL and BIG for us to try and Figure out .... You Will not believe what I studied today in my prayer time(Luke 11:1-13). Wow God is really speaking to me. In both the spiritual realm and through this word. He was teaching on prayer and letting us as Christians know that we must be steadfast and unmovable knowing that things WILL work out even if we can't see it. I am reminded of the writer in Mark 9:24 (Lord, I believe;help thou mine unbelief) because honestly as children of the MOST High we too doubt situations but the word you brought forth from Luke tells us that all we have to do is ask and it shall be given and seek and we shall find.But, WHY does it seems like it doesnt happen when we ask? It is because of our unbelief! We Must remember if we Pray not to worry and if we worry not to pray because either we Give God 100% or 0%...I choose 100% Thanks alot and i truly believe God is speaking to my heart with these scriptures! Be Blessed and encouraged

ReplyDeleteJust ran across your blog and thought I would write a little about your entry.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't agree with you more!
I think the more and more us Christians grow in the Lord the more and more we also feel like we need to become some super Christian. We don't need to over think everything, trying to morph and change our words as they come out. The truth is simple...God is good. What a reminder your post was for me. Thank you for sharing!
