Text: Psalm 100:4-5
Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan
Exhortation:
The Psalmist says, “Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise: be thankful unto Him, and bless His name. For the LORD is good; His mercy is everlasting; and His truth endureth to all generations” (Psalm 100:4–5).
It’s easy to proclaim God’s goodness when life feels pleasant and everything aligns with our plans. But when storms rage or prayers seem unanswered, can you still confidently say, “God is good”?
True faith shines brightest in adversity. God’s goodness is not defined by our circumstances—it is His unchanging nature. Even when we don’t understand His ways, His plans for us remain steady: “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end” (Jeremiah 29:11).
The Apostle Paul affirms this hope: “And we know that God works all things together for the good of those who love Him, who are called according to His purpose” (Romans 8:28). What may look like a setback today is being woven into His greater plan for your life.
Beloved, no matter what season you are in—whether in abundance or in need, on the mountaintop or in the valley—hold fast to this truth: God is good, and He is working all things together for your good.
Prayer Nugget: Father, thank You for Your unchanging goodness and everlasting mercy. Please, help me trust Your plans and purpose even when I don’t fully understand the details in Jesus name.
