God is the source of all good things.

All good things come from God. Jesus said, Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is, God. (Mat 19:17) Whether we realized it or not, all goodness comes from God, because He is the source.

Did something good happen today? It’s because God is good. Did you actively seek His help? Probably not, but it was His presence that you felt. He is good whether we acknowledge Him or not. Most of the time we don’t. Most of the time, we enjoy when good things happen and take for granted that it was God who caused it.

There is great blessing in realizing that we owe so much to God for being good. When we acknowledge Him and give Him our praise because He deserves it, we’re more aware of what He is up to. We get in on His secret and He shows us the things what He is actively doing for us. It’s fun.

When we look at the world, so full of anger and death, it’s amazing to realize how good God is. Without His presence here, our lives would be bleak beyond description. But when we plug into  His goodness, we are filled with blessing beyond description, in a great way. And it’s good.
