Day   228     Good is who God is

Ephesians 3:20

Amplified Bible (AMP)

²⁰ Now to Him Who, by (in consequence of) the [action of His] power that is at work within us, is able to [carry out His purpose and] do superabundantly, far over and above all that we [dare] ask or think [infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts, hopes, or dreams]—

Every child knows that good means good.  We as adults question the meaning of good because we have had experiences in our lives that we do not understand so we say, “good couldn’t possibly mean good.”

We can choose to believe like a child and trust as a child or we can be skeptical of God’s goodness.  I always say to myself, “Why would I believe my fickle feelings with the All- mighty God has spoken?”  In the above scripture it plainly states that God desires to do “super abundantly, over and above….our highest prayers.”  Gloria Copeland says, “Good is who God is and good is what He does.” 

Let’s solidify this truth  in the foundation of our core beliefs. Either God is good or He is not.  It is something that we must settle.  We can choose to believe our feelings and opinions or we can believe what He says to us in His Word.

Stop to think about some of the good things that have happened to you or for you, and thank God that He was the author of it.  Ask Him about the not-so-good things and He will minister to you.
