READ YOUR RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY DEVOTIONAL. SEE THE GOOD ONLY– PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 14TH 2016.
He loveth righteousness and
judgment: the earth is full of the goodness of the LORD (Psalm 33:5).
Some people are always
fishing for the wrong things; they never see good in anything or anywhere. They
know all the bad things happening around, and are prompt to spread gossip,
falsehood and negative information. Such people end up twisted in life, because
they never see or celebrate the good in anything.
Whereas, there’re those who
always think and care about the good; they see good in everything. No matter what
it is, they only look out for, and celebrate the good. They’re forever
“good-conscious”; not because they’re naïve, but because of the excellence of
their personality. That’s how God expects you to live. The Bible says the earth
is full of the goodness of the Lord; that’s all you should see—only good
things.
People who peddle rumours
and bad news, and only see the negative side of everything can’t make much
progress in life. Their values keep depreciating, and everyone who wants to
make progress avoids them. Successful people don’t want to keep the company of
people who are negatively programmed; they avoid them. The Bible says, “Iron
sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend” (Proverbs
27:17).
Read the latter part of our
opening verse again; it says, “…the earth is full of the goodness of the LORD”
(Psalm 33:5). Choose to see the glory and goodness of God in your world. Yes,
the Bible says the dark places of the earth are filled with the habitations of
cruelty, but it doesn’t change the fact that the earth is full of the goodness
of God. Don’t be concerned about the evil reports so much so that they produce
the negative response from you; be excited about the goodness of God. The truth
is, if all you see and seek is the goodness of the Lord, that’s surely what
you’ll experience.
PRAYER
The earth is full of the
goodness of the Lord; thus, I see and experience good things only. My life is a
daily manifestation of the glory and beauty of God as I think about His
goodness, accept, and celebrate His excellence that I see around me, in Jesus’
Name. Amen.
