The goodness of God is one of the foundations of our Christian faith; it is what everything hinges on. God is completely and consistently good and nothing bad can come from Him. “Oh give thanks to the Lord for He is good” (Ps 106:1; NKJV). “Oh that men would give thanks to the Lord for His goodness, and for His wonderful works to the children of men” (Ps 107:8,9; NKJV). These Old Testament scriptures (and there are many more) are confirmed in the New Testament, for example James 1:17 says that all good gifts come from God. It is said of Jesus that He went around “doing good” (Acts 10:38). Jesus Himself said that it was God, the Father, who enabled Him to do many good things (John 10:32). We see that of course in all the miracles that He performed; He was continually doing good things such as healing, delivering and helping people. It is because of God’s great love for us that He does good things for us (John 3:16). So, if something not good happens in our life we can rest assured that it is not coming from God; no matter what happens – good or bad, God is good, all the time! (John 10:10). And, “all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose” (Rom 8:28; NKJV).

So, “taste and see that the Lord is good” (Ps 34:8) today. Study and meditate on the goodness of God and allow God to give you more revelation on this subject and then you can say with conviction, “God is good!”
