Pastor Sue’s Pearls from Above
Goodness- loving kindness, compassion, kindness, favor shown, completeness.
God isn’t good sometimes, He is good at ALL times, because goodness is his nature.
Jesus said in Luke 6:35; God is even kind to the unthankful and evil.
Psalm 107:1; O give thanks unto the LORD, for he is good, for his mercy endures for ever. Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he has redeemed from the hand of the enemy. 8. Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, for his wonderful works to the children of men! For he satisfies the longing soul, and fills the hungry soul with goodness.
Exodus 34:6; And the LORD passed by before him, and proclaimed, The LORD, The LORD God, merciful and gracious, long suffering, abundant in goodness and truth…this is the LORD himself proclaiming how good he is! God himself is proclaiming that He is merciful, that He is gracious, that He is long suffering, and there is abundance in His goodness and truth!
What a precious LORD God, who fills our hungry souls with His goodness!
Psalm 31:19-20; Oh how great is thy goodness, which thou has laid up for them that fear thee, which thou has wrought for them that trust in thee before the sons of men! Thou shall hide them in the secret of thy presence from the pride of man, thou shall keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues.
Psalm 33:5; He loves righteousness and judgement (justice), the earth is full of the goodness of the LORD…34:8; O taste and see that the LORD is good, blessed is the man that trusts in him.
Psalm 65:11; Thou crown the year with thy goodness, and thy paths drop fatness.
Isaiah 63:7; I will mention the loving kindness of the LORD, and the praises of the LORD, according to all that the LORD has bestowed on us, and the great goodness toward the house of Israel, which he has bestowed on them according to his mercies, and according to the multitude of his loving kindness.
Psalm 100:4-5; Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise, be thankful unto him and bless his name. For the LORD is good, his mercy is everlasting, and his truth endures to all generations.
Nahum 1:7; The LORD is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble, and he knows them that trust in him.
James said in 1:17; that every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness (no changing), neither shadow of turning.
God’s goodness leads us to repentance, his goodness follows us along with his mercy all the days of our life, his goodness is in abundance. I will sing of the goodness of God.
God bless.
