Do you daily realize God is so good? We are called blessed and favored, if we place our trust in God. Sometimes we find it easy to trust only in ourselves, in our talent and ability, in our intellect. We often place our trust in the brakes on our automobile and we do not think twice when we apply the brakes while driving. We trust that they will in fact stop the car once applied. When we were little, most of us experienced jumping off a high place into the arms of an adult with total and complete trust that they would catch us. Never did we think we would fall to the ground. We believed.
Have you ever stopped at the bakery and glanced over the gooey-gooey confections? Some looked scrumptious while there was maybe one that you really had no desire to taste. But the baker noticed you staring at it and insisted you give it a try. Once you tried it, you realized that your perception of it was completely wrong.
Maybe you've seen God as a mean, cruel judge. But maybe your perception of Him has been all wrong. The Psalmist shouts "Try Him!" in Psalm 34:8, "O' taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the man who trusts in Him."
The truth is: God is inherently good. Nothing can change that. He loves you and watches over you throughout your daily comings and goings. He is a good, good Father who daily loads you with benefits. And He desperately desires the opportunity to pour out the rain of abundance upon your life.
However, it should be so much easier for us to place our total trust in an Almighty and Sovereign God who watches over this vast universe, who spoke this world into existence with His very words, and who dearly love those who follow hard after Him. We should find it easy to place our trust completely in Him. Choose today to commit your life to the only God who can truly can a difference in your future.
Call on Him now and He will hear your heart cry. He is a good, good Father. He is forgiving, merciful and kind. When we repent, He throws our sins in a sea of forgetfulness and refuses to remember them. He is long-suffering toward us and longs for our desire to follow Him and walk in righteousness.
