It’s good to know that God is good! He is not some detached Deity. He is not some unfeeling force. He is not an Almighty Dictator. He is Divine. He is the greatest force in the Universe. He is completely Sovereign. And . . . He is much more!
The Creator of the Universe is a Personal God who is personally involved in His creation. He is Triune. Therefore, He is and always has been relational! He did not create in order to pass the time. He created for purpose, our good and His glory.
He is not only ultimate existence, ultimate presence, and ultimate power, He is also ultimate love, ultimate grace, and ultimate mercy. The one true God of all is in Himself goodness and truth. He is a good God!
Psalm 145:17-19 “The Lord is righteous in all His ways and kind in all His works. The Lord is near to all who call on Him, to all who call on Him in truth. He fulfills the desire of those who fear Him; He also hears their cry and saves them.”
Yes, He is good and He does good. We rightly fear Him because He is God. We rightly long to be near Him because He is Good and He is God! What joy and comfort to know He is righteous and kind, He will come near to those who call on Him in truth, He fulfills the desire of those who fear Him, and He saves them!
Praise Him today for He is a good God. He is good in His very nature, and He is good to us in Christ! God is good—all the time!
