THE GOODNESS OF GOD

My Mom and Dad taught me to pray this and I have never forgotten it;

God is great, God is good

Let us thank Him for our food

By His hands we are fed

Thank you Lord for daily bread

God is good. All the time. All the time, God is good!

The Bible is filled with teachings about the goodness of God. For example,

God is good to all His creatures, to all His creation. His goodness permeates the entire created order.  Psalm 136:25; 145:9, 15-16.

God is good to unbelievers and that is a general goodness. This is sometimes referred to as common grace and is seen in many places. It is a grace that is not redemptive.  See Matthew 5:45

God is especially good to His children, His family of believers.

God delights in meeting the needs of His children.  Matthew 7:7

All good comes from God.  James 1:17

God is good in His plans for believers. Romans 12:2 and Jeremiah 29:11

God is good with respect to His providence.  Romans 8:28

God is good in His protection of believers.  Nahum 1:7

God is good in His patience toward believers.  Psalm 136

God is good in His forgiveness toward believers. I John 1:7-9

You should NEVER doubt God’s goodness!
