God is good...God is great!

Indeed! We spoke these words as a child, sometimes meaning them, and sometimes, as a means to get on with the meal!

Take a look at this: You are good and what you do is good; teach me your decrees. Psalm 119:68. And, then if I look across the page in that passage, these words: Your statutes are my heritage forever; they are the joy of my heart. My heart is set on keeping your decrees to the very end. Psalm 119:111 & 112

The psalmist is speaking to and about God, Himself. Saying that God is good!

Be aware, though, of this: Our enemy, who hates us, tries to decieve us and make us think that this life is all about us. That bad things happen because God doesn't care, or He isn't watching over us...this is a LIE of Satan. It is good to remember that our battles are not against flesh & blood but against the forces of evil, which are out to seek, kill and destroy us at any price, and for some, that price is their very life!

I must keep this in mind at all times. God is GOOD!!! He alone is GOOD, (even Jesus said this!)...and HIS statutes are my heritage...they need to be the joy of my heart.

The only way that I am ever going to know what HIS statutes are, or the character of the Mighty God of the Universe, is to open HIS book!!!!

I want my heart to be set on keeping His decrees...to the very end...no matter what is ahead of me, no matter who may be watching, and no matter what I see as the consequences...just replacing the fear of all those with trust in HIM! Knowing that when I need it, divine wisdom is one prayer away! Knowing that when I need it most, divine courage is a prayer away...

I know that I know that I know...because the Bible tells me so, and also because God has seen me through many moments where it could've gone either way!

He is faithful, His word is true...God is GOOD!!!
