ATTITUDES TO LIVE BY 5
Psalm 100:5 For the Lord is good, His unfailing love continues forever. His unfailing love and his faithfulness continues to each generation. NLT
One of the reasons why so many struggle with trusting the Lord is that they don’t comprehend the fact that God is good. Goodness is an inherent quality of God. He is perfect goodness. He can never do anything that is not good. We may not understand the good He does, but it doesn’t change the fact that it is good. If God were to be anything less than absolute goodness, He would not be worthy to be worshiped or trusted.
He is good, His unfailing love continues forever. Think about this for a moment. God is love. He never fails to love. He never has and He never will. However, what most people struggle to comprehend is that God is equally holy. God’s love does not negate or override His holiness. They both are a part of who God is. He is holy love. As much as God loves, His holiness demands that sin be dealt with. No one can bypass His holiness to fall into His love. God always has and always will love you, but He will never allow you to enter into heaven with your sins hanging onto you.
God is always faithful. God has never failed to be faithful. He is faithful keep to His Word. He is faithful to His children. He is faithful to never let sin into His presence. He is faithful to never change. He always has been, is now, and forever will be God—creator, sustainer, ruler, and maintainer of all things through all generations.
Know this, dear friend, God is good all the time, and He is with us all the time working out that which is good for us in and through us. Oh, let your heart be filled with gladness today. Worship our loving Lord. Bow down before Him. Thank Him for His countless blessings. Praise Him from whom all your blessings flow all the days of your life.
