The Goodness of God in the Land of the Living

The Bible talks a lot about the enemy falling into his own trap.

Combined with Romans 8:28, I think that could be what we are witnessing now.

How could God use this evil of a global pandemic and turn it around for good? Well, at least at the moment, He has quite a captive audience. Many are asking Him "What are you doing? What are you saying?"

I propose we take time to ask Him every day, starting now, those two questions - and then listen for the answers.

One inkling of an answer I feel I'm getting is: there is interest and excitement for the new way of doing church. God is reaching into living rooms and offices in so many ways through social media.

Another inkling is I feel God is instilling something new into his human creation - a brain upgrade.

One more inkling is, He is teaching us to give ourselves permission to rest, to lay low, to spend un-rushed time with those closest to us.

Do you have an inkling of what God might be doing?

Psalm 27:13 - I remain confident of this: I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.

Romans 8:28 - And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.

October 14 - You Matter!

You sometimes tell friends that your needs, pains, and dreams are so minor compared to others in this world. You feel you don’t deserve your prayers to be answered when there are so many that are suffering and need more than you. Do you know that what matters to you matters to God? Don’t you realize how big He is? Pray those prayers – even the small, seemingly petty ones – over you and your family. Your Father in Heaven loves you and longs for relationship with you. His great desire is to bless his children with good things.

Isaiah 49:16 - See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands...

April 19 - He's a Good, Good, God!


There is something really special about your day today. A new idea. A new toy. A new relationship. A travel plan. God is going to use this special day to remind you of His goodness.

Psalm 27:13 - I remain confident of this: I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.
