Timeless Truth
With Pastor Tope Oyeneye
Appreciating God's Goodness
Scripture.
Psalm 136:1-3 KJV
"O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: For his mercy endureth for ever".
Message:
God's goodness is His nature and character, that is who He is. God is a good God, this is why the scriptures says in Psalm 119:68 (KJV), "Thou art good, and doest good; Teach me thy statutes". Goodness is Gods nature, this is why it is a fruit of the spirit as mentioned in Galatians 5v22. The goodness of God flows to us because of His mercy. The mercy of God is the catalyst for the continual flow of His goodness.
The goodness that we enjoy from God goes beyond our perfection, qualification or goodness, it is a manifestation of His mercy. What parents do for their children, the sacrifice and all is beyond whatever the child does, it is a manifestation of love and mercy. Parents take care of their children because of love and not because the child is good or anything.
The statement, "..:For His mercies endureth forever" means, "because His mercy is in place and intact ". God's goodness flows to us by His mercy. One major key to a continual flow of His goodness to us is thanksgiving. Appreciation is application for more. When you are grateful for the past, you become a candidate of the future. When a child is grateful for the gift given by a parent, it encourages the parent to do more.
It is important in this season to be deliberate about appreciation. Refuse the temptation of focusing on the things that are not working or not in place, focus on celebrating God for the things that He has done in the course of the year. Refuse to grumble, murmur or complain, look back and celebrate His lovingkindness. This is the way to continously provoke His goodness and mercy.
