Scripture of the Day: Psalm 27:13
I am still confident of this: I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.
In today's day and age especially, I love those words! We live in a fallen world and thus there are a lot of bad things in it. But, just as in the time of David who wrote those words above, we can be confident that we will see the goodness of the Lord here, on earth, in the land of the living.
The goodness of God can be spotted in several ways. Look at your life and count your blessings. Every one you can think of is a glimpse of that goodness. Also look at the actions of your life; both what you have done and what has been done to you. Each kind act is a demonstration of that same goodness. When we do nice things for others it is an outpouring of God's love.
That is part of the reason that random acts of kindness are so important! No matter how big or how small, they bring some light and goodness to a world that is all to often a place of darkness.
I challenge those of you reading this, and myself, to BE a demonstration of goodness to others. There is a saying, "Be the change you want to see in the world." If you want a happier and a better world, then be a happier and a better person. If we all did that, think of the impact it would have!
Closing Prayer:
Heavenly Father God, how great is it that we can be confident of your goodness here in the world today? Evil things happen and the negative is part of our daily lives frequently. Help us overlook that and still pour out goodness onto others. Help us be a light - your light - to others in this land of the living. We love You and in Jesus' Name we pray. Amen.
