January 9: The Bedrock Truth: The Lord Is Good

“The Lord is good to all, and his mercy is over all that he has made.” (Psalm 145:9, ESV) 

The Lord is good!  This phrase is found many times in the Old Testament. It is a bedrock truth to the children of Israel and to all who believe in God.  It is paramount that we believe GOD IS GOOD!  Without it, we will always follow God at a distance. But with it, we will draw near to Him in every situation and circumstance of life.  Without it, we never quite fully believe He will answer our prayers. But with it, we will believe that all things are possible with God!  Without it, what we know of God will crumble. But with it, we have hope, we know all things become possible in Christ, and we stand firm on this bedrock truth on which our faith rests!  He is good!

Prayer: “Father, in the name of your Son, Jesus, may the knowing of your goodness become the bedrock on which my life is built.”

Pause & Reflect: Say it ten times in a row slowly: “The Lord is good to all.”
