Power Of Good Things



Key Scripture:  “No good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly.”  Psalm 84:11
“All sunshine and sovereign is God, generous in gifts and glory, He doesn’t scrimp with His traveling companions.”  The Message
Power Point:
     It seems strange that we sometimes forget to apply the nature of God to His dealings with us on a regular basis.  If God is good, really good, then everything He does for us is good. And if He is as generous as the Bible says He is, then He is definitely not going to scrimp on giving good things to the ones He’s set His love upon.
     In other words, there is nothing that is good that He will ever keep from us, His “traveling companions” on the road of life.  There’s no provision of health or prosperity; there’s not a good word of encouragement or a good plan that is not on His agenda for us. We are first in line for blessing and favor and honor and good financial surprises.
     We’re on the list for good health, a satisfied soul, and joy every morning. He’s already declared it for us. We’re blessed by His peace that passes all understanding. We’re signed up for the good plans He has for us to give us a future and a hope. And as we believe that, as we anticipate that goodness, it begins to flow every day in every way in our lives.  He promised that it would.  He promised that not one good thing would He keep out of our reach.
     I don’t know about you but I can think of a lot of good things that I would like to see happen in my life. Isn’t it wonderful to know that God has bigger thoughts and higher thoughts than we can imagine even on our best days?  Aren’t you glad to know that today has already been generously packed full of good things waiting to be uncovered and unpacked? Aren’t you glad to know that the Lord, your God is your sun and your shield today and He’s ready, willing, and able to shine His light on the steps that you take today so that you don’t miss one of them.
     Your Father is so excited about the good things He’s stored up for you. If you're traveling His way today He'll make sure you find them.

Power Thought:
Good things bring us joy. They are something worth having. And God delights in giving them to us. Are you looking for them?  Have a good day!
