God is Good...

"God is good and God is great. And now we thank him for our food. " I remember saying this prayer almost every time my family sat down to eat dinner. To be honest this prayer as I was growing up didn't mean much to me. All too often we overlook the truth of that prayer. GOD IS GOOD. Truly knowing God is good should have an affect on us and the way we live our lives. God's nature is to be GOOD and through his goodness He desires to bless us and give good gifts. The greatest gift, blessing, and proof of His goodness is His very own Son: "But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners " (Romans 5:8). Our heavenly Father is soooooo good that while we were STILL sinners He sent His ONE AND ONLY PERFECT Son to die for us, so that we could inherit eternity and be with Him forever. That truly is the greatest gift ever and shows how GOOD God is. This week may the goodness of God come to impact your life in such a way that ALL will see how good He is.
