 'For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee' (Psalm 86:5).

Some people are considered good by the standards of the world. They are seen as good because of their hospitality and seemly good moral standards.
However, as sinful beings we are not inherently good, it is only God who is good. It is only through our relationship with Christ that we can be truly seen as good. He supplies us with His good and remove our evil. The nature of the heart is evil and desperately wicked. Some people are considered good, yet they cannot forgive the injuries done to them by others. But when we are made good in Christ, we will be willing to forgive others as God through Christ has forgiven us. The Lord is plenteous in mercy unto all who call upon him. Notice He didn't say some, but all who call upon him! When we lift up the name of the Lord in prayer and worship, His goodness flows through us as a stream running by. The Lord is always ready to forgive. The Scripture says, "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us of our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness" (1 John 1:9). There is forgiveness in the Lord, which he had made provision for and give it freely to all who ask. The Lord is good in himself and good to others and that's why every good and perfect gift comes from him. The Lord will show himself merciful when we call upon him, because He is rich and abundant in mercy; He abounds in his grace and goodness. When we petition the throne of grace, with faith and hope, we can take hold of it. Let us call upon God with an upright heart because if we regard iniquity in our hearts, God will not hear us
(Psalm 66.18).  Be encouraged and with confidence, take hold of God's goodness and mercy as we seek to obey and look to Him by faith.

Have a wonderful day 🌹🌹

 'But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you' (Matthew 6:33). The Lord is our Provider and knows all that we are in need of before we even ask. We do not need to worry or fret ourselves about what we shall eat or drink. Our Father in heaven will take care of these things we need. We are told by Jesus, 'To seek first the kingdom of God.' What does that mean? It means we should lean on, and trust in the grace of Jesus Christ. We should repent of our sins and have a desire to turn away from it. We should seek to put God first in our praise to Him, in our worship of Him, to put our total trust in Him and to rely on Him  rather than ourselves or others. We need to seek Him first in our reassurance and acknowledging who He is and what He can do. We also need to seek God's righteousness by  loving our neighbors and feeding the poor and destitute, seek justice for the vulnerable. We should put God's plan and...

'Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead , yet shall he live;' (John 11:25). The story of Lazarus is a well known one in the Bible. He and his sisters Martha and Mary were friends of Jesus, who loved them. Lazarus became sick and died, and after four days Jesus raised him from the dead. This was more for benefits of those around including His disciples, so that they may truly believe that God had sent him.  He was speaking  with Martha who was more focused on the telling Jesus the problem, than demanding a specific solution. We too can be so focus on the problems we faced, that we forget that God is  much bigger that the problem and is our solution to them. When Jesus told her Lazarus would rise again, she understood it to mean he would live again someday. But Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life: he that believes in me, though he was dead, yet shall he live." Christ at this time, was able...

 'Trust ye in the Lord forever: for in the Lord Jehovah is everlasting strength' (Isaiah 26:4). In a time where there is so much confusion and uncertainty, God is calling us to trust Him always. He is our everlasting strength - the Rock of all ages, Jesus Christ our Lord. He is our refuge and strength in every trial we face and our everlasting Rock in every raging storms of our lives.
