It is impossible for God not to be good, because
it is His character
.
God’s entire motive and purpose is to
do good to everyone who will receive it from Him - it is impossible for God not
to be good, because it is His character - He is good to all, all the time - His
goodness radiates from Him
Joyce Meyer
“… how much more will your Father who
is in heaven give good things to those who ask him!” — Matthew 7:11
The word good means, “useful;
valuable; having qualities or a tendency to produce a beneficial effect.”
God is good, without respect to persons.
In other words, He is good to all, all the time. His goodness radiates from
Him.
Not everything in our life is good, but
God can work it out for good if we will trust Him.
Joseph suffered much
abuse at the hands of his brothers as a young boy, but later in life when he had
an opportunity to get revenge against them, he said: “… You thought evil against me, but God
meant it for good…” (Genesis
50:20 AMPC).
Joseph could have been bitter, but he
searched for the good in his painful situation.
Don’t think that God is like people,
because His ways and thoughts are far above ours (see Isaiah 55:8–9).
Prayer Starter
Father, thank You for being good… all the
time. Help me to expect Your goodness throughout my day. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
