He Is Good

Surely God is good to Israel, to those who are pure in heart. But as for me, my feet had almost slipped; I had nearly lost my foothold. For I envied the arrogant when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.

- Psalms 73:1-3, NIV

Many times Christians see God as “good” up until the point something unfavorable comes up in their lives. Looking to the right, looking to the left they often compare/contrast their individual circumstances with those they feel are comparable to them. Unfortunately throughout this envious, jealous, and prideful tirade they often lose sight of how they truly see God – good. So the question is that if “your” heart sees God as “good”, then why can’t you trust Him to prosper your way as with the others? Notice how the Psalmist speaks to God’s goodness, but alludes to how he almost missed out on it because of pride. Christians do well to be mindful of this lesson because far too often they look to the right, to the left, yet forget to look above…failing to realize that all goodness comes from above. Today acknowledge that He is good to you and good for you…even when things are the darkest because He does not change!

BE BLESSED!
