Consider the Goodness of the Lord

Our soul waits for the LORD; He is our help and our shield. For our heart rejoices in Him, because we trust in His holy name. Let your loving-kindness, O LORD, be upon us, according as we have hoped in you. Psalm 33:20-22

Consider all the goodness of the Lord in your life! How many times he has intervened and helped you in peaceful times and in times of trouble.

So often with just a prayer of the heart the Lord has delivered you and turned a bad situation into one that works out for your good. How good is the Lord in your life!

The Lord’s mercy watches over and keeps you. He moves you away from the paths of unrighteousness into his path of peace because of his love for you. The Lord loves you with an eternal love!

The Lord protects you against the evils of this present age. He has charged his angels to watch and protect you. God limits the troubles that come your way because he knows your fragility, he knows your limits.

In the Lords’ love he tests your heart. The Lord tests your heart to prove what is there; to uncover any wickedness; to shine his light and reprove what is not like him.

So wonderful are the ways of the Lord in our lives. His care and attention towards us is more than our attention towards him. His thoughts for us are only good and his plans more wonderful that we can imagine!

How we should praise the Lord! How we should seek his face and trust in his loving-kindness. His praise should always be on our lips!

For the Lord is our warrior, He is our protector; it is him who keeps us in his ways, it is him who imparts faith into our hardened hearts, it is the Lord who first loved us, it is the Lord who is good and merciful and kind!

Consider… and praise the Lord!
