“Gratitude isn't only a celebration when good things happen: Gratitude's a declaration that GOD IS GOOD no matter what happens.”

“23 Verses About the Goodness of God” By Dr. David Jeremiah:

“God is good. But what does that mean—that God is good? The more I studied this word in the Bible, the more one central concept seemed to jump out: God’s goodness conveys His generosity. His goodness means far more than His generosity, but it certainly includes His infinitely generous attitude toward us. By nature, He longs to bring joy and blessing to all His creatures. The Bible repeatedly presents goodness as a core quality of our Lord, and I wanted to share just 23 of those occasions. These 23 verses point you to the goodness of our God and what it means for our lives.”

1. “The Lord, the Lord God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abounding in goodness and truth.” —Exodus 34:6

2. “Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever.” —1 Chronicles 16:34

3. “And they sang responsively, praising and giving thanks to the Lord: “For He is good, for His mercy endures forever toward Israel.” —Ezra 3:11

4. “Good and upright is the Lord.” —Psalm 25:8

5. “Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.” —Psalm 23:6

6. “The Lord is good to all, and His tender mercies are over all His works.” —Psalm 145:9

7. “No one is good but One, that is, God.” —Mark 10:18

8. “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.” —James 1:17

9. “If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!” —Matthew 7:11

10. “I would have lost heart, unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.” —Psalm 27:13

11. “I will meditate on the glorious splendor of Your majesty, and on Your wondrous works. Men shall speak of the might of Your awesome acts, and I will declare Your greatness. They shall utter the memory of Your great goodness, and shall sing of Your righteousness.” —Psalm 145:5-7

12. “He loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of the goodness of the Lord.” —Psalm 33:5

13. “Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the man who trusts in Him!” —Psalm 34:8

14. “Be thankful to Him, and bless His name. For the Lord is good; His mercy is everlasting.” —Psalm 100:4-5

15. “Oh, that men would give thanks to the Lord for His goodness, and for His wonderful works to the children of men! For He satisfies the longing soul, and fills the hungry soul with goodness.” —Psalm 107:8-9

16. “As a father pities his children, so the Lord pities those who fear Him. For He knows our frame; He remembers that we are dust.” —Psalm 103:13-14

17. “Teach me to do Your will, for You are my God; Your Spirit is good. Lead me in the land of uprightness.” —Psalm 143:10

18. “The Lord is upright; He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in Him.” —Psalm 92:15

19. “You are good, and do good; teach me Your statutes.” —Psalm 119:68

20. “You also gave Your good Spirit to instruct them, and did not withhold Your manna from their mouth, and gave them water for their thirst.” —Nehemiah 9:20

21. “Hear me, O Lord, for Your lovingkindness is good; turn to me according to the multitude of Your tender mercies.” —Psalm 69:16

22. “The Lord is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; and He knows those who trust in Him.” —Nahum 1:7

23. “Oh, how great is Your goodness, which You have laid up for those who fear You, which You have prepared for those who trust in You in the presence of the sons of men! You shall hide them in the secret place of Your presence from the plots of man; You shall keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues.” —Psalm 31:19-20

Bowen's Daily Meditations by Rev. George Bowen

"Teach me thy way, Lord." - Psalms 27:11

It will hardly be denied by any reflecting person that it is reasonable to suppose that there is for every human being a particular line of procedure which commends itself to God as the best, and every deviation from which is a deviation from that which is best. When we consider how admirably God has organized man, how richly he has endowed him, with what authority he has invested him, and with what appliances he has surrounded him; when we consider what an infinitude of wise and good thoughts God has bestowed in the preparation of man for life; can we believe that God has no particular will in regard to the way in which that life should be spent? We should be greatly surprised if a man should expend an immense sum of money in the building of a ship; employ the most skillful artificers in perfecting her with respect to a thousand anticipated necessities: render her strong, beautiful, swift, commodious; and then launch her and leave her to float at random over the waters, without any commander, without any instructions. Yet this appears to be the idea that many in considerate persons entertain of human existence. They suppose that man is left without a chart, without instructions; and leave it to be inferred that God is the most inconsistent of all beings. Ask them why they suppose so; if they have searched for the will of God, and found none; if they have sincerely asked God for instructions, and obtained no answer; if they have been cordially willing to leave unto God the full control of their earthly existence; and they will be obliged to reply that they have not. Not only have they not sought, they have not been willing to see.

We know, however, that God has a will with regard to every man, a will that takes note of every conceivable particular. We know that he is disposed to make known this will, and disposed also to teach us to do it.

He teaches us to do it by making us sensible of our incompetency to guide ourselves. One after another, signal mistakes occur, to show us how absolutely we need a guide more intelligent than ourselves. We get disgusted with our own ignorance and short-sightedness. We are like a man who finds himself in the midst of a vast factory, crowded with the most complicated and ponderous machinery, where mighty engines of death threaten him on the right hand and on the left, before and behind; he makes a step in one direction, and receives a frightful blow; in another, and gets dreadfully lacerated; then he cries out in agony for someone to take him by the hand and lead him.

He teaches us to do it by showing us the incompetency of others to guide us. Some persons are conscious of their in-aptitude, and look to others to show them what to do with life. They turn to Plato or Socrates, to Seneca or Confucius, to Carlyle or to La Rochefoucauld, to this novelist or to that. In fact, there is hardly any one desirous of teaching but has some scholars. But, alas! they find no way that is in any degree irreproachable. Life is with them a succession of bruises and losses.

He teaches us to do his will, by letting us see it acted out in the beautiful life of Christ. - By giving us to understand that this will has reference, first and last, in great matters and small, to our own best estate and most assured happiness. - By unfolding to us the Scriptures. - By writing his word in our hearts. - By teaching us to abide in Christ. - By giving the Spirit to abide in us.

Being Untransformed by Distractions (243) - April 27 2024

Play on other Podcast Apps We all want to be on the best path in life. The Word of God, Jesus Himself, is The Way, The Truth and The Life. Without Him we can do nothing. Without Him we cannot be on the best path. The devil therefore lures us to more familiar activities and distractions. We get to choose what we should watch, listen to, and who to be around.

Church notes - 29th October 2023

29th Psalm 27

Psalm 105 James 4:7 - 9 Matthew 11:28 - 30

Matthew 9:9 - 13 Matthew - the Gospel to the Jewish people. It is likely that Matthew knew Who was calling him.

Tax collectors

Extorted people for more money than they gave the authorities. More like the Mafia than any modern day tax agency.

Worked for Rome; the enemy.

We are accepted in Jesus, no matter what we have done.

Rose up. Matthew left behind his empty life.

Luke 15:15 Contrast Matthew 8:8 - 20 Did that man follow? or not? There is a cost to following Jesus.

Where is your comfort and security coming from?

Where our fears are is our baggage.

Fear is a powerful driver. But Jesus is not calling us to live a life of fear, but to wholly trust in Him.

vs 12 Reference: Hosea 6:6.

13 Ways to Grow a Passion for the Things of God

Psalm 119:89 How to Develop a Passion for the Things of God Hang around passionate people.

Teach Me Thy Way

Psalm 27:10-11. When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up. Teach me thy way, O LORD, and lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies. I never have experienced the horror of being abandoned by my parents. It’s hard for me to imagine such a dreadful thing. My husband was 23 when he came to the Lord, and of course his first concern was to share this wonderful…

Courage: Something You Can Have. Something You Can Take

Defining Courage “Be strong and let your heart take courage, all you who hope in the LORD.” (Psalms 31:24 NASB) Courage is an interesting thing, and people try to define it in different ways. Many of us probably first thought about courage when we saw The Wizard of Oz, and listened to the Cowardly Lion wish that he had some. Courage is not merely about being fearless or foolish, but it is a…

Anon who asked about the suicides here. Unfortunately I'll need the specific locations/texts (of at least two, I think). It's not that I don't believe in you!! I'm just trying to show it to someone

of course-

king saul kills himself via the sword in 1 sam 31. i have posted often about how god sees this death and never gets over it, and that is at least partly why he later incarnates as a non-roman (roman citizens would die by the sword: i think god feared dying as saul did)

sign-acts as self harm: see ezekiel's self-harm sign-acts: isolation in ezek 3:31; immobilization ezek 4:4-8; eating over excrement ezek 4:9; see also jeremiah's self-harm sign-acts: exposure to elements jer 13; auto-yoking in jer 27

elijah praying to die: 1 kngs 19:4; knowing elisha will also end up praying to die: ibid v. 20 ("what have i done to you!?")

tobit praying to die: tobit 3 (sarah also has a prayer for death here)

moses praying to die: numb 11:13

jonah prays to die and then attempts suicide via the elements: jonah 4

psalmist 88 also prays to die and, in fact, enacts a semiotic death (writing from the grave). this is one of two psalms that does not end in resolution with god

samuel asking to be put to rest after already dying: 1 sam 28

many close to god also express, without intention to enact and without real plea, their wanting-to-die: see job (all of it), jeremiah (jer 20), and rebekah (gen 27:46)

there are many more than what my post listed. almost every prophetic sign act is self-harm. and, in the second testament, you have (very famously) the apostle paul saying he struggles with suicidal ideation, as well as the suicide of judas, which lacks any affective response precisely because none suffice. keep in mind that in the ancient world, self harm and auto-death looked like, and meant, very different things than they do today. keep also in mind that in each pericope here, god shares in the wanting-to-die, never answering the plea or condoning or condemning, but holding gently unto the pain

#ask #suicide tw #king zimri and david's man ahithophel also commit suicide but they are not described as hashem's people so its complicated

Living His Word

The LORD is my light and my salvation-- whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life-- of whom shall I be afraid? - Psalm 27:1

In this life we live before the second coming of Jesus Christ we go through all sorts of trials, troubles, and tribulations that tempt us to give way to fear. In our verse for today, however, David basically makes the claim that we have nothing to fear. We have nothing to fear because we have the Lord on our side.

We have nothing to fear because the Lord is our light. This reminds us of Psalm 43:3, "Send me your light and your faithful care, let them lead me." Although darkness may surround us, the Lord shows us the way. Although darkness hides many difficulties, perplexities, and enemies, the Lord is there to lead us and guide us through them and around them. David's followers referred to him as the "lamp of Israel" (2 Samuel 21:17), but this was only true of him because the Lord was the light showing him the way.

We have nothing to fear because the Lord is also our salvation. This reminds us of Psalm 62:2, "Truly he is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will never be shaken." The Lord not only shows us the way through the darkness with all its difficulties, perplexities, and enemies, but He saves us from it all. He is our deliverer and savior. Although the enemies hidden in the darkness try to knock us down from the solid rock we stand upon, we shall not be shaken from our sure foundation. "He set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand" (Psalm 40:2).

And we have nothing to fear because the Lord is also the stronghold of our lives. This reminds us of Psalm 144:2, "He is my loving God and my fortress, my stronghold and my deliverer, my shield, in whom I take refuge." Although we are vulnerable to the attacks from the trouble and the enemies hidden in the darkness, the Lord protects us, supports us, and upholds us.

Given what the Lord is for us, whom shall we fear, of whom shall we be afraid? As the Apostle Paul put it, "If God is for us, who can be against us?" (Romans 8:31).

Every September, my friend Marc Hong, a professor at Louisville Seminary, hosts Psalmtember. He invites you to join in, too!

Think "Inktober," but in September and with a spiritual focus — and with any art form welcome, from drawing to poetry to photography and beyond. There's also no pressure to create something for every day — do as many or as few as you like.

Here's Marc's description of this artistic event:

Each year, I love to spend a month making art inspired by the Psalms. There are 30 days in September, meaning that I can evenly divide up the 150 Psalms into 5 sets of 30. So, if I do this for 5 years, I will have made art with all of the Psalms. Join me! The prompt list is in the image [as well as below the readmore]. But other words may stand out to you! Or you may try to make art that represents the wholeness of the Psalm. I encourage you to read the text of the whole Psalm each day, consider what emotions it stirs up in you, choose a medium that speaks to you, and make some art! Folks have painted, used ink, drawn with colored pencils, taken photographs, written haikus, and much more. Choose what stirs delight in you!

Tag your post with #psalmtember2023 so we can celebrate the Psalms through art together!

Marc and many others post on Facebook, but I'll be paying attention to the tag here on tumblr. If you create anything you'd like me to share on Facebook on your behalf, DM me.
