(The Earth Is Filled With God’s Goodness)
TO THE BIBLE: Psalm 23:5-6
“You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup runs over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.”
LET’S TALK
An insightful verse of the Bible says, “If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise” (Galatians 3:29 NIV).
You’re an heir of God; and if the earth belongs to Him, then it belongs to you too, since you’re a joint heir with Christ (Romans 8:16-17).
The Word says: “…In fact, everything is yours, including the world, life, death, the present, and the future.
Everything belongs to you, and you belong to Christ, and Christ belongs to God” (1 Corinthians 3:21-23 CEV). The world belongs to you; it’s yours to enjoy.
Now, Psalm 33:5 says “…The earth is full of the goodness of the Lord.” This is awesome! In spite of the terrible things we hear happening in the world, the earth is still full of God’s goodness!
Notice it doesn’t say, “The earth has God’s goodness,” but that it’s “…full of the goodness of the Lord.” The goodness of God in the earth is enough for everyone to enjoy.
Jesus emphasised this like this: “I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows)” (John 10:10 AMPC). He didn’t just come for us to have life but that we may enjoy it also.
Learn to enjoy what God has given you. If you don’t enjoy them, you can’t really appreciate them, and therefore, can’t be truly thankful.
Take advantage of your salvation and enjoy life to the full: Enjoy the clothes you wear, the food you eat, and the family and friends you have! Laugh more, make merry and celebrate God’s goodness and excellence in your life.
