Assurance of God’s goodness

Hello friend! 
Happy new month of August! What do you do when you are weighed down and don’t know what next steps to take in life? How do you cope in trying times when you’re struggling to live in faith? 

There’s so much reassurance in God’s word to carry us through any situation of life. We have to continuously affirm God’s word and believe there’s nothing impossible for him to do.

In today’s publication, we see inspiring scriptures that remind us about the goodness of God.
  • “For the Lord is good. His unfailing love continues forever, and his faithfulness continues to each generation.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭100‬:‭5‬ 
  •  “For the Lord God is our sun and our shield. He gives us grace and glory. The Lord will withhold no good thing from those who do what is right.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭84‬:‭11‬ 
  • “You forgave the guilt of your people— yes, you covered all their sins. Interlude” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭85‬:‭2‬ 
  •  “Yes, the Lord pours down his blessings. Our land will yield its bountiful harvest.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭85‬:‭12‬ 
  •  “O Lord, you are so good, so ready to forgive, so full of unfailing love for all who ask for your help.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭86‬:‭5‬
  • “For he will rescue you from every trap and protect you from deadly disease.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭91‬:‭3‬
  •  “The Lord will not reject his people; he will not abandon his special possession.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭94‬:‭14‬ 
  •  “For he satisfies the thirsty and fills the hungry with good things.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭107‬:‭9‬ 
  •  “He lifts the poor from the dust and the needy from the garbage dump. He sets them among princes, even the princes of his own people! He gives the childless woman a family, making her a happy mother. Praise the Lord!” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭113‬:‭7‬-‭9

Prayer

Dear God, please help me to always trust in your goodness and faithfulness no matter what comes my way.

What type of Christian are you?

Sister Rose was stopped at the gate of heaven, and confusion filled her face. “What is going on here?” she asked. “My name is Sister Rose Agatha, the General Choir Director of the Association of Christian Choristers in my country. What do you mean I’m not qualified to enter?” The angel looked at her calmly. “I’m sorry, ma, but the gate has been shut against you. Many are called, but few are chosen” (Matthew 22:14). She felt offended. “Sir, with all due respect, you must be mistaking me for someone else. I served God all the years of my life on earth. Do you know how many choir groups I headed? How many crusades I was invited to? I was very popular.” “The Kingdom of God is not about popularity,” the angel replied. “What quality of service did you render to God? Was it for His glory or to please men? Remember, ‘For we must all stand before Christ to be judged… each of us will receive whatever we deserve for the good or evil we have done in this earthly body’” (2 Corinthians 5:10). ...

Giving Thanks in Everything

Sometimes life feels like it’s falling apart — plans fail, losses come unexpectedly, and hope seems distant. Think of a time when things weren’t going the way you wanted; with all the emotions rushing through your mind, gratitude was probably the last thing you wanted to express. Yet, this is exactly where true thanksgiving begins — not when life is perfect, but when we trust that God is still good, even when things don’t seem that way. God’s Word encourages us to give thanks in all circumstances because He cares deeply for us, and His thoughts toward us are always good (Jeremiah 29:11). Even when things seem unclear, His plans are still for our peace and not for our destruction. Sometimes, we need to pause and look back at our lives to see the countless blessings we’ve overlooked. The psalmist reminds us to remember the deeds of the Lord and meditate on His works (Psalm 77:11–12). As we walk through tough seasons, it’s important to shift our focus away from negativity and toward the...

When obedience seems hard

Have you ever thought about what you would do if you were in Abraham’s position? God asked him to sacrifice his only son, Isaac — the son he had waited for all his life. Imagine the thoughts that must have run through his mind as he walked toward that mountain, carrying wood and fire but no explanation. Yet, Abraham obeyed. He trusted that even in this impossible command, God had a purpose. His faith reminds us that true obedience sometimes means surrendering what we value most. Sometimes, God asks us to let go of something dear — a dream, a relationship, or even a habit — and our first instinct is to resist. We grumble, argue, or try to reason it out because obedience can feel costly. But obedience, even when hard, is proof of our trust in God. Jesus Himself obeyed the Father even unto death (Philippians 2:8), and that obedience brought salvation to the whole world. The Bible makes it clear that disobedience leads to pain and loss. Saul lost his throne because he disobeyed God’s instr...
