What We Need to Know About God
He is Good!
1 Chronicles 16:34-36
Give thanks to God—he is good and his love never quits. Say, "Save us, Savior God, round us up and get us out of these godless places, So we can give thanks to your holy Name, and bask in your life of praise." Blessed be God, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting. Then everybody said, "Yes! Amen!" and "Praise God!"
Notes:One of the many attributes (or characteristics) of God is that he is good. This scripture tells us that we should thank God because he is good. His love for us never ends and he continually seeks the lost.
Question: Why do you think God continually seeks the lost?
Answer: It goes back to his love for mankind. He loves us so much that he patiently waits for us. He wants none to perish (die in their sins). This doesn't mean that some will not perish. It is not because God cannot save them, but because they refuse to accept his offer of salvation. God loves us so much that he does everything short of making us against our wills, turn to him. He will allow us to go through difficulty not to destroy us but to help us see we really do need him. Won't you thank him today for his goodness?
Prayer: Lord thank you for your goodness toward us and for loving us endlessly. Help us to accept that love and to walk in your way.
