REGULARLY THINK UPON THE GOODNESS OF GOD (Saturday, 6th June 2026)
Text for Today: Psalm 118:1-16 “Oh give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever.” (vs.1).
Those who can’t think deep will remain to be ungrateful in life. From the beginning of time, it has been said that God is good. He is good to us in so many ways. God loves us unconditionally and is always listening to our thoughts and prayers. He keeps us from harm. God’s goodness to us is visible on a daily basis, in both the big and the little things in our lives. God is like oxygen, you can’t see Him, but you can’t live without Him. A song says, “When I think upon your goodness, and your faithfulness each day, I’m convinced it’s not because I am worthy, to receive the kind of love that you give, But I’m grateful for your mercy, and I’m grateful for your grace, And because of how you’ve poured out Yourself, I have come to sing this song out in praise…., Imeela, Imeela….”
Thinking upon the goodness of God is a sure way for us to possess the spirit of gratitude. The question is, how well do we appreciate God’s goodness and favour upon us as mortals and products of His creation? In the passage before us today, we need to consider these short but ennobling verses of praise to God for His unlimited love. No wonder John the beloved, in his epistle (1 John 4:8) pointedly declared that God is love. His love is so great. When one considers how, for instance, He bore patiently with Saul-turned-Paul, in spite of his havoc against the early church; how He eventually saved and mightily used him to propagate the gospel to the ends of the earth. What a great manifestation of the depth of God’s love and goodness. Never look down upon the goodness of God.
You are a Champion!
