Good day
While praying yesterday I believe the Holy Spirit wanted me to share scriptures stating that God is good. This may be for you or for someone else that you know who may need to be reminded of this.
Someone once said, "When you can't trace His hand, trust His heart". Be encouraged this morning to know that God's heart and His intention towards you is one of goodness; don't allow any circumstance to dictate anything different to you. Trust in Him and take Him at His word today. He is Good, He is your God and He loves you!
Mark 10:18
No one is good but One, that is, God.
Matthew 7:11
If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!
James 1:17
Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.
Psalm 25:8
Good and upright is the Lord.
Psalm 33:5
He loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of the goodness of the Lord.
Psalm 27:13
I would have lost heart, unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.
Psalm 145:9
The Lord is good to all, and His tender mercies are over all His works.
1 Chronicles 16:34
Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever.
Psalm 100:4-5
Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, and bless His name. For the Lord is good; His mercy is everlasting, and His truth endures to all generations.
Psalm 145:5-7
I will meditate on the glorious splendor of Your majesty, and on Your wondrous works. Men shall speak of the might of Your awesome acts, and I will declare Your greatness. They shall utter the memory of Your great goodness, and shall sing of Your righteousness.
Psalm 34:8
Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the man who trusts in Him!
Psalm 107:8-9
Oh, that men would give thanks to the Lord for His goodness, and for His wonderful works to the children of men! For He satisfies the longing soul, and fills the hungry soul with goodness.
Nahum 1:7
The Lord is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; and He knows those who trust in Him.
Therefore we can believe and say with confidence that:
Psalm 23:1-6
The Lord is my Shepherd [to feed, guide, and shield me], I shall not lack.
He makes me lie down in [fresh, tender] green pastures; He leads me beside the still and restful waters.
He refreshes and restores my life (my self); He leads me in the paths of righteousness [uprightness and right standing with Him—not for my earning it, but] for His name’s sake.
Yes, though I walk through the [deep, sunless] valley of the shadow of death, I will fear or dread no evil, for You are with me; Your rod [to protect] and Your staff [to guide], they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my [brimming] cup runs over.
Surely or only goodness, mercy, and unfailing love shall follow me all the days of my life, and through the length of my days the house of the Lord [and His presence] shall be my dwelling place.
Amen
