YOUR GOODNESS IS RUNNING AFTER ME….
When Moses asked God, “Show me Your glory,” God said, “I will make all of My goodness pass before you” (see Ex. 33:18-19).
Most often as I get up in the mornings, I have a song on my mind, so one day I got up with the chorus of the song
“Your goodness is running after it’s running after me… “
The enemy wants us to doubt the goodness of God in our circumstances. Yet, in the face of the storm and the greatest of threats, you can proclaim, “My God is good, and He is full of mercy toward me.” And you will know that God’s goodness is not dependent upon people, feelings or circumstances, for “good” is your Father’s identity—it’s who He is!
Knowing God’s Goodness Brings Security
Today, receive healing to your heart and mind as you contemplate His kindness. For God’s goodness and kindness are unstoppable! There is never any time, or any moment, when He’s not good and kind. You can rest secure in God’s goodness, for He never changes and is always good. Your Father is always kind and He is watching over you.
Jesus said, “I am the good shepherd” (see John 10:11). This truth is your assurance, your security and the rock that you stand on: The Lord is good, and His mercy endures forever! (see Ps. 136:1).
Declaring God’s Goodness!
The story of how King Jehoshaphat trusted the prophet’s word and sent the choir before the army, encourages us today, knowing that:
• In the face of pressure—in the face of obstacles—you have a simple declaration of praise at hand
• You may speak this confession quietly, yet it’s a lion-like roar in the spiritual realm
• A word of truth silences demonic whispers; it dispels dark messages with a breath of life
*I praise You, My God. For You are good and Your mercy endures forever!
His Goodness and Mercy Are in Your Future!
His goodness is active right now, in your present! For His Spirit is within you, along with all His fruit of kindness and goodness (see Gal. 5:22).
These words of David are a battle cry for someone today: “Yet I am confident I will see the LORD’S goodness while I am here in the land of the living…” (Ps. 27:13).
Secure in Christ, God’s goodness is in your future—both in this lifetime and in eternity. Throughout all your life, God’s goodness and mercy will be like a mighty river, and you will be swept up in its current (see Ps. 23:6).
A Practice of Blessing
Maybe it’s time to pray through your home, workplace or any areas where there has been a specific challenge, especially if the atmosphere has been affected either long-term or recently.
Declare the goodness and mercy of God and see, by faith, the enemy fleeing! Thank God for redeeming what has gone before and speak a prophetic word of blessing, in Jesus’ name. A fresh wind of worship is here.
God is transferring abundant blessings to you. You are entering a set time where He will show off His goodness with elaborate manifestations of His promises.”
