The Lord Is Good

 

 

If we believe that the Bible is true in every regard, we must acknowledge goodness as one of God's most notable attributes. These verses below are a mere glimpse into the vast collection of Scripture which speaks of God's goodness. He is good when He pours out abundant blessing. He is good when He comforts in the midst of suffering. He is good when He answers prayer. He is good when He provides strength in weakness.

 

  • I said to the Lord, "You are my Lord; I have no good besides You." Psalm 16:2
  • Good and upright is the Lord; Therefore He instructs sinners in the way. Psalm 25:8
  • I would have despaired unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Psalm 27:13
  • O taste and see that the Lord is good; how blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him! Psalm 34:8
  • Surely God is good to Israel, to those who are pure in heart! Psalm 73:1
  • But as for me, the nearness of God is my good; I have made the Lord GOD my refuge, that I may tell of all Your works. Psalm 73:28
  • Indeed, the Lord will give what is good, and our land will yield its produce. Psalm 85:12
  • For the Lord is good; His lovingkindness is everlasting and His faithfulness to all generations. Psalm 100:5
  • Praise the Lord! Oh give thanks to the LORD, for He is good; For His lovingkindness is everlasting. Psalm 106:1
  • But You, O God, the Lord, deal kindly with me for Your name's sake; Because Your lovingkindness is good, deliver me; Psalm 109:21
  • The Lord is good to all and His mercies are over all His works. Psalm 145:9

 
How then shall we respond?

 

Respond with praise and thanksgiving.

 

Respond with a life that reflects eternal gratefulness and worship toward a good God. Respond by giving Him your all, and "finding out what pleases the Lord" (Ephesians 5:10).

 

The Lord is good!
