The Goodness of God

Text:Jer . 31: 12- 14 
More Lessons: Psa. 65: 4-1 1
Bible Reading in One Year: Numbers 1-3

Therefore they shall come and sing in the height of Zion, and shall flow together to the GOODNESS of the LORD, for wheat, and for wine, and for oil, and for the young of the flock and of the herd: and their soul shall be as a watered garden; and they shall not sorrow any more at all. Then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance, both young men and old together: for I will turn their mourning into joy, and will comfort them, and make them rejoice from their sorrow. And I will satiate the soul of the priests with fatness, and my people shall be SATISFIED WITH MY GOODNESS'', saith the LORD: Jer . 31: 12-14.

There is one thing which if God gives you on the face of the earth you will be satisfied; it is called GOODNESS. God's goodness comprises of all the acts of the Almighty that prove that He is good. God demonstrates His goodness by His practical acts in your life that give you the satisfaction that money cannot give. May you taste of the goodness of God, in Jesus’ Name.

It is out of goodness that God takes a man out of sin and brings him into grace. But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us: Rom 5:8. It is out of goodness that God takes a man from the prison and sets him upon the throne to reign.

Beloved, your sacrifices and your offerings are not just what induce the goodness of God. There is nothing you can pay God to stir up His goodness; it is just God's nature to be good. May you be satisfied with God's goodness. For example, what can we possibly do to earn the death of Jesus on the cross for us? Furthermore, He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? Rom 8:32-33. This is the goodness of God; Jesus died for us and in addition gave us all things to richly and freely enjoy.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. Psa. 23: 6 (NIV). Mercy, grace and favour from God are all to perform acts of goodness to us: they are to the end that He might prove Himself good to us. The peak of prayer is to ask for the goodness of the Lord. I connect you to Jehovah’s goodness today in your going out and coming in, you will be satisfied with His goodness. O satisfy us early with thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days: Psa.90:14.

Prayer/Action
* Give thanks to God for being your good God.
* Ask Him to crown your year and labour early with His goodness.
* Ask God to compensate all the pains of your life with His goodness.
