Thought For Today - 1/1/09

In walking in 2009 lets make it a point to get to know God and His Goodness!

The more we know God’s goodness, the more we trust Him. The more we trust Him, the easier it is for us to put our lives into His hands. And only by placing our lives in His hands can we open the way for Him to save us, bless us and work through us, so that His wonderful will can be done on earth as it is done in heaven in 2009!

I pray that you reading this blog the revelation of God’s goodness will help you receive from Him whatever you need.

Perhaps you have not yet taken the first step of your journey of faith because you have never received Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior. Maybe you have heard about Him, and you even believe the things you have heard are true.

If so, you are not alone. Many people (even good, church going folks) are in that condition right now. They know about Jesus, but they do not have a living relationship with Him.

Don’t be afraid to give your life to Jesus. He will not deprive you of the good things you want or need. Fear will make you draw back because you are not really sure God has your best interest at heart. Understand this, God is a good God!

I have personally continued to trust God with my life. I have seen the evidence of His goodness continue to increase until it has totally overwhelmed me.

The more I have come to know the goodness of the Lord, the more I have come to believe that God wants all of us to give our lives to Him so He can lavishly, without reserve, pour His blessing upon us. He wants all of us to be so blessed that everywhere we look, we see the goodness of God.

Question? Where will you be in 2010 if you don’t start believing to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living? You will be right where you are now. Things will be no better in your life. In fact, they will probably be worse because darkness will still be unhindered in its’ work to steal, kill and destroy.

But, if you will find out what the Bible says about God’s goodness and you will dare to believe it, things will begin to change in a wonderful way. Your life will immediately begin to improve. A year from now, you will not only see that goodness on the pages of your Bible, you will see it around you every day of your life.

That is what I call living!

Have a great 2009!

Much love,
Joseph
