I love the concept of this little devotional. There is no goodness apart from God. Amen. It's over. Nothing more too say.
Only to believe. And in tough times and in just plain everyday life, that is hard to do. So indeed it comes down to the battle that rages in your mind and most of the time, the mind wins.
So let's change the battle strategy, let us begin this season of Thanksgiving in the knowledge there is no goodness apart from God and let's go win the war!
God Bless.
There is no goodness apart from God.
Some people assume God is angry most of the time and that his favor only lasts a moment, but the Bible tells us it’s just the opposite! You are always the apple of His eye even when you feel like spoiled fruit.
God has moved on from that bad thing you did or that terrible thing you said. He may have been angry or disappointed in the moment, but He’s moved on. Have you? You don’t have to worry about falling out of favor because of a failure.
God’s goodness is ongoing and never runs out. His favor is always around us, on us, and with us; God’s favor is forever!
In fact, goodness does not exist apart from God; it did not originate on it’s own—aside of, or apart from him. It’s definitely not something that originates with human beings (Do you have to train your children to be bad, or good?).
God is the source of all goodness and all good things. Some people still separate good from God, which can deteriorate mankind’s need to thank, honor, and worship him.
This study is about starting the journey to train your eyes to see the otherwise unseen goodness of God and what his favor looks like in your everyday life. For the next 5 days you will begin to see your life through the lens of God’s favor.
Think about it: What are some good things in your life that are easy to overlook?
PRAY: God, thank you for being present in my life. Help me to open up my eyes to see that you are the source of all good things and that you bring favor into my life everyday. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
