Precious Love

Another Thanksgiving has come and gone. We are now “officially” in the Christmas season. I want to write about the truth of Christmas.

Humanity is on a path of animosity towards God. We seem to think we are worthy of worship. I don’t believe we are. I believe God is clearly worthy of worship. If you don’t believe that, please find out Who God truly is. Today’s verses talk about some of the benefits of God’s worthiness. God lavishes goodness on mankind.

Other passages tell us that He sent His Son, Jesus, to be born as a baby, grow to adulthood and die a horrible death on a cross. He rose from the dead to show triumph over the consequence of sin (death). This results in the gift of salvation. God has made this gift available to all. Have you accepted this gift? If you haven’t, will you today?

Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for the many ways You show Your steadfast love. Please help us to see Your worthiness.

I pray this in Jesus’ name.

God is so good.

Taste Goodness

Verse 8 gives us an invitation to find out about God’s goodness. It is like tasting a decadent food. There is great enjoyment. Getting to know God’s goodness brings great joy. I am thankful for the blessings that come through knowing and serving God.

I pray my readers have learned of the goodness of God. If you don’t know what that means, please let me know. I would be happy to share Who God truly is with you.

Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for the goodness You have poured on us. Please help me to share this goodness with both those who know You and those who don’t. I need Your help.

I pray this in Jesus’ name.

God is so good.

Deliver

I love the comfort of the Psalms. God tells us that He watches those who fear Him. He will deliver our souls from eternal punishment and helps us in the difficulties of today. While God gives common grace to all, these verses talk about those who fear Him. God is not going to deliver those who reject Him. I wish more people knew how much God cares. If they did, I think more would fear Him.

It is my prayer that I have opportunity to show and tell people about the truth of God. Both to those who know Him, so they can learn more, and to those who don’t know God. I want everyone to know more.

Dear Heavenly Father, please help me to share the truth of Who You are, both with my life and with my words. I want those who know You to know You more. I grieve for those who don’t know the truth about You. Please help me to share the truth with them.

I pray this in Jesus’ name.

God is so good.
