January 18 - The Power Of God’s Goodness

“… May he give you the power to accomplish all the good things your faith prompts you to do.” (2 Thessalonians 1:11, NLT)

The power of God’s goodness cannot be overstated or over emphasized. The power of His goodness transforms our lives, shapes our character and encourages our faith.  Knowing He is good does that!  When we experience His goodness, we experience rest in believing Him for His promises.  We don’t weary ourselves trying to believe for healing, peace, and direction.  Instead, we rest in the fact that He is a good Father and desires to do those things for us!

God’s goodness invites us to trust in Him fully and live abundantly.  His goodness strengthens us!  It makes all things possible in our thoughts.  It cause us to rise and overcome giants of opposition by trusting in a God who loves us, is for us, and has promised us. May our faith prompt us to do good!

Prayer:  “Jesus, by the power of your Spirit, prompt me to do good, even as He lead You to do good!”

Pause & Reflect:  What good deed or work can you do for God today?  Think about where your day will take you and think whose life you can touch with God’s goodness.
