Topic: Abiding in the Goodness of God.
*For reading and Meditation:* Ephesians 2:10 & James 4:17.
*Thought:* God's nature of Love upon humanity would never cease to exist because he is altogether full of goodness.
Memory Verse: Psalms 27:13 "I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living."
One thing to note about goodness is that it is God's purpose for Creation. The Bible recorded it that after God creation of things "....he saw that it was good". Therefore, the least that is expected in the life of men most especially believers is the traces of evil.
Ephesians 5:9 said all the fruits of the Spirit are summarised into goodness, righteousness and truth. So whatever is far fetched from being good shouldn't be found in us. Whatever is filthy and deceitful in nature we mus'nt associate with.
The truth is that every man knows the difference between good and evil.
Apart from the Holy Spirit being a guide to all truth, there is this inner conscience that Judges the works of men.
Even the so called wicked and die-hard criminals have within them that self judge.
3 John 1:11 says "Beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which is good. He that doeth good is of God: but he that doeth evil hath not seen God."
According to the above verse, if a man is found walking in the path of ungodly, Sitting in the sit of mockers and standing in the ways of Sinners just as we are warned not to do these in Psalm chapter 1, such a man is evil and has not seen God because God in his nature is too Holy to behold Evil.
Beloveth, you must understand that you aren't created to do evil. You are created unto good works Ephesians 2:10 and in those good works you should work in.
The goodness of God upon our lives is that we come out fully to destroy the works of the wicked. The Joy of the Lord in our lives is that we be as good as he has called us at Creation.
You must note that being good is beyond the outer appearance and this is why even the most beautiful men in physique can still go ahead to do the most of ugliest things today.
Conspiracy, Jealousy, Slandering, Envy, Strive, Arrogancy and the likes are all the manifestation of evil and they are not meant to be part of us because God saw that we are good after he created us. He called you good, abide in that which he called you.
*Assignment:* Always ensure to be good to men not because of them but because you know and understand that your nature is good.
*Prayer Points:* Father Lord, pour out your abundance of goodness upon my life this morning.
