All of God’s actions are good. God cannot be tempted to do evil. When we experience pain and loss, it can be difficult to see that God is good. When we trust in His goodness, He becomes our anchor in the storm.
“You are good, and what you do is good;” (Psalm 119:68 NIV)
As the Creator, God wants everyone to experience His goodness, offering blessing and refuge to all who will come to Him.
“Taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in him.” (Psalm 34:8 NIV)
Every good thing in our life comes from God. He’s not an angry father or an unfair judge. God wants the very best for us because He is good.
“Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father...” (James 1:17 NIV)
God’s goodness means He teaches us to do right. No one is perfect. In spite of our brokenness and rebellion against God, His goodness draws us closer to Him.
“Good and upright is the LORD; therefore he instructs sinners in his ways.” (Psalm 25:8 NIV)
