The Lord Is Good
PSALM 145:8-9 NKJ
8 The Lord is gracious and full of compassion, Slow to anger
and great in mercy.
9 The Lord is good to all, And His tender mercies are over all
His works.
The greatest deception is making people think God is bad. God
is not guilty -- of anything bad!
The devil wants us to believe God is bad: that He is uncaring,
that He does bad things to us, and that He is holding out on us
-- keeping us from enjoying good. But it isn't true. God loves
you more than you can imagine.
The devil is a liar -- he works by deception. The devil tries
to make us believe God is like him, and he is like God, which
is, of course, not true.
Because of satan's efforts to distort the truth, many people's
idea of God is actually what the devil is like.
PSALM 34:8 NKJ
8 Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good; Blessed is the man
who trusts in Him!
We must, as Scripture admonishes, taste and see that the Lord
is good. Unless you have a relationship with God, you won't
know how good He is.
1 JOHN 4:8 NKJ
8 He who does not love does not know God, for God is love.
God is a God of love. He puts the interests of others first. He
is not selfish. He desires the best for everyone.
God Is A Good God
Luke 6:35-36 NKJ
35 "But love your enemies, do good, and lend, hoping for
nothing in return; and your reward will be great, and you will
be sons of the Most High. For He is kind to the unthankful and
evil.
36 "Therefore be merciful, just as your Father also is
merciful.
Unfortunately, not many people understand that God is truly
good -- but He is. The world has been deceived into accepting
an image of God that's mean and vindictive, harsh and strict.
But the Bible, especially the fuller revelation given in the
New Testament, paints a different picture of God. He is a
Father -- a good Father.
It would be good news if we had a God who was kind to the
average person. But God doesn't stop there. According to Jesus,
who knows, God is kind to unthankful and evil people, too!
That may not be what you often hear preached, but that's what
Jesus said. The Most High God is kind to evil people.
Jesus also said that not only is God kind to evil people, but
He is merciful. In fact, one passage even says that God
delights in mercy! (Micah 7:18)
Too often people think God is mad at them, so there is little
chance He would help them. The opposite is true. Jesus told us
that God so loved the world . . . .
And He hasn't changed His mind..

Memo From God |
 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
I am God. Today I will be handling all of your problems.
Please remember that I do not need your help. If life happens to
deliver a situation to you that you cannot handle, do not attempt to
resolve it. Kindly put it in the SFGTD (something for God to do) box.
It will be addressed in My time, not yours. Once the matter is placed
into the box, do not hold onto it.
If you find yourself stuck in traffic; Don't despair. There are
people in this world for whom driving is an unheard of privilege.
Should you have a bad day at work; Think of the man who has been
out of work for years.
Should you despair over a relationship gone bad; Think of the
person who has never known what it's like to love and be loved in
return.
Should you grieve the passing of another weekend; Think of the
man in dire straits, working twelve hours a day, seven days a week to
feed his children.
Should your car break down, leaving you miles away from
assistance; Think of the paraplegic who would love the opportunity to
take that walk.
Should you notice a new gray hair in the mirror; Think of the
cancer patient in chemo who wishes she had hair to examine.
Should you find yourself at a loss and pondering what is life
all about, asking what is my purpose? Be thankful. There are those who
didn't live long enough to get the opportunity.
Should you find yourself the victim of other people's
bitterness, ignorance, smallness or insecurities; Remember, things
could be worse. You could be them!!!!

Whoops
|
|
A middle-aged woman has a heart attack and is taken to the
hospital. While on the operating table she has a near death
experience. During that experience she sees God and asks if this is
it. God says no and explains that she has another 30 years to live.
Upon her recovery she decides to just stay in the hospital and
have a face lift, liposuction, breast augmentation, tummy tuck, etc.
She even has someone come in and change her hair color. She figures
since she's got another 30 years she might as well make the most of
it.
She walks out of the hospital after the last operation and is
killed by an ambulance speeding by. She arrives in front of God and
complains, "I thought you said I had another 30 years."
God replies, "I didn't recognize you."
