God Is Good and His Mercy Is Everlasting
1 Chronicles 16:34
"Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good,
for his loving kindness endures forever."
As I return to the school office after a bout with illness, I am reminded of the Garden of Eden, when Satan tempted Adam and Eve. Satan always has us questioning in ways that promote insecurity, worry, doubt and fear. We know that the devil’s work is to kill, steal and destroy. Satan primarily questions the goodness of God. "Did God really say..." He tried to portray a view of God that was skewed and distorted... That God was insecure and didn't want the best for
Adam and Eve. That God wasn't good.
The enemy's tactics are the same today as they were back then. He continues to question God's goodness at every turn. Our encouragement to you today is simply to trust and believe the truth about God, and what He says in His word. God has declared to the heavens that He is really good and His love endures forever!
God’s love for us will not change today, tomorrow, or in eternity. He said it, and it is true – His love will endure forever! The very foundation of our God and Father's heart is goodness and love. No matter what happens in life, sickness or health, dangers or principalities, evil leaders or good ones, we can be encouraged not to side with the accuser and questioner of our Father's
goodness. Our God is good even this hour, and He is love is beyond comprehension.
Amid any storm you are going through, His love for us will cause even the worst situation to turn for good (Romans 8:28). May faith rise in our hearts to know this on a level deeper than we have ever known it before and declare that the Lord is good and His mercy endures forever!
Remember that when you are well, and when things are going smoothly, although these times are rare, you can still find God’s promises to be true. Proclaim these truths at our school today as you arrive for work, or drop off your children, as you approach the challenges of the day, God’s truth about the day, that all will be well, is for you. Know that His promises and God’s loving kindness is a gift for us, and something we can share with each other to build each other up
.
Responsive Prayer: Father, thank You for remembering us today and for having a plan for our lives. Your infinite goodness is for today and Your mercy is one that lasts forever. Please help us not to doubt Your goodness during good times, or times when we face difficult circumstances. Today we will believe in only You and we ask that You silence the lies of any enemy who may
question the love You have for us.
In Jesus’ name, we pray, Amen.
