“I am certain that I will see the Lord\u2019s goodness in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord;
be strong, and let your heart be courageous. Wait for the Lord.” <\/em>– Psalm 27:13-14<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taste and see that the Lord is good. How happy is the person who takes refuge in him!
You who are his holy ones, fear the Lord, for those who fear him lack nothing. Young lions lack food and go hungry, but those who seek the Lord will not lack any good thing. <\/em>– Psalm 34:8-10<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBe still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.\u201d<\/em> – Psalm 46:10<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The LORD is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in loving devotion. The LORD is good to all; His compassion rests on all He has made. All You have made will give You thanks, O LORD, and Your saints will bless You.” <\/em>– Psalm 145:8-10<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today has been the quietest of days. This may be unrelatable to most and the envy of some. I love a full day myself usually…but today was a gift. A gift of quiet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Within that quiet I was reminded of the many Psalms that speak to the goodness of God. How He loves and moves with both mercy and justice in this world. When we are bombarded by news, much of it bad, and the challenges and distractions of life, the temptation is to take matters into our own hands. To make ourselves the actors in this narrative. What a blessing to have a block of time to quiet the mind and remember the reality of a sovereign God. It takes stillness to listen to the Spirit of God and our own hearts as we gather our thoughts around the beauty of His character. I had that kind of day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It doesn’t take a day though, right? A moment will do. Even in the midst of busy little ones or weary old ones, as well as demanding work or co-workers, we can turn our hearts in wonder at the goodness of God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Christian artists TobyMac<\/a> and Blessing Offor<\/a> sing together about The Goodness<\/em> of God. Both of these men have known terrible loss, and yet they will tell you<\/a> that God’s goodness meets them at every turn. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
