He is Good.

There are alot of songs in the past few years that have talked about the goodness of God. Recently, a song titled, "You Are Good" has become a favorite. The lyrics are:

I want to scream it out

From every mountain top

Your goodness knows no bounds

Your goodness never stops

Your mercy follows me

Your kindness fills my life

Your Love amazes me

I sing because You are good

And I dance because You are good

And I shout because You are good

You are good to me to me

Nothing and no one comes
Anywhere close to You

The earth and oceans deep

Only reflect this truth

And in my darkest night

You shine as bright as day

Your Love amazes me

With a cry of praise my heart will proclaim

You are good You are good

In the Sun or rain my life celebrates

You are good You are good.

Did you read that last line? "In the Sun OR rain, my life celebrates. YOU ARE GOOD. I looked up the definition of "good" and this is what I found:

Good=morally excellent; virtuous; righteous; pious; satisfactory in quality, quantity; being of high quality; excellent; right; proper; fit.

God is GOOD. He is excellent. No matter where I, or you, may be at in this journey of life, He is GOOD. SO GOOD. No matter what troubles I face, no matter what bills are piling up, no matter where my brother is, or what my circumstances look like, He is GOOD. My soul, my spirit, cries out His goodness. I want my life to be a testimony of God's goodness. I thank Him for being so good to me. It is His nature to be good to me. It is His desire. He is Good. I don't think I can say it enough! I used to think that being called "good" wasn't a strong enough word, it needed to be "awesome," or "great," but now, being "good" is perfect. It's more than enough. It carries it's own strength. God is Good.
So, the next time you look at your life and feel that you have been neglected, or your heart hurts, or you aren't where you thought you would be in this life...take a minute to remember that God has been GOOD to you. He is good! Sing a sing of His goodness, or hey, for those "brave" ones out there--dance because He is good! God is so good!

Relishing in His Goodness,
