“
They celebrate your abundant goodness and joyfully sing of your righteousness
.” Psalm 145:7
Two things are true: life is unfair, hard, and broken, and God is still good. We don’t have to fabricate or force joy into our hearts if things around us are dark and difficult. But in the same manner, we don’t have to diminish God’s love or goodness simply because life isn’t lining up how we thought it might. If we begin to believe the lie that God isn’t good, then we will start to take matters into our own hands. We won’t sing of His righteousness. We will serve
for
acceptance rather than
from
it. We will strive to earn God’s love rather than resting in His grace and goodness. Our sabbath, however, comes from knowing that God IS good. Sabbath is fueled by remembering the times He has proven Himself faithful. And it is sustained by resting in the truth that if God is with us, we have all we need.
Reflect + Apply:
Celebrate God’s goodness by writing down a few instances where You have personally experienced His goodness. Play and consider singing along with a song of worship to express your gratitude.
God, I don’t need to see all the evidence to trust in you. Thank You that You are good. Strengthen me to stand and reflect on that goodness.
