Spirit & Life Devotional: Satisfied with the goodness of God

Problems and challenges are real; but I don't celebrate them as something special because if Adam and Eve didn't sin there won't have been problems! Till today, many problems in our lives are caused by sin; disobedience, and disregard of the will of God.

God is good! And He seeks to restore man to Himself. When a man surrenders to God, he begins to enjoy the goodness of God. His song changes; he begins to see the Lord's goodness, His mercies and compassion. David said that from when he was young till he was old, he never saw the righteous forsaken or his seed begging for bread; for daily the Lord loads him with benefits! Glory to God!

Jeremiah 31:12-14 says, "Therefore they shall come and sing in the height of Zion, streaming to the goodness of the Lord for wheat and new wine and oil, for the young of the flock and the herd; their souls shall be like a well-watered garden, and they shall sorrow no more at all. Then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance, and the young men and the old, together; for I will turn their mourning to joy, will comfort them, and make them rejoice rather than sorrow. I will satiate the soul of the priests with abundance, and My people shall be satisfied with My goodness, says the Lord."

Amen! In the remaining days of your life, may you be satisfied with the goodness of the Lord! May your mourning be turned to joy! Your morning has come; it's time for you to be happy and at rest! May your soul be satiated with abundance and be as a well watered garden! Dance and rejoice, for the Lord is forever good and His mercies endure forever!
