THE TOUCH OF GOD'S GOODNESS

LIGHT FOR THE WAY

TOPIC: THE TOUCH OF GOD’S GOODNESS

TEXT: Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men (Luke 2:14).

God is good and and He is always doing good things but many believe God is out to strike people with lightening every time they make a mistake. If you listen to some people’s concept of God, you could wonder if God is ever in a good mood.

 Every time there is a hurricane or earthquake, people blame God. Many insurance policies call these disasters, “acts of God.” Yet, the first thing the angels brought at the birth of Jesus was an announcement of peace and good will. God isn’t out causing natural disasters because He is mad at the world. In fact, Romans 8:22 says that “the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.” In other words, the ever increasing natural disasters are the result of sin taking its toll on the planet. Often for the same reason, people have bad things happen to them. It’s not because God is judging them, but rather they are reaping the results of sinful behaviors (see Rom. 1:27). Other times it is the devil causing trouble so people will erroneously believe God is behind it. God, because of His righteousness, will eventually have to judge a world that refuses His hand of good will through Jesus, but in the meantime God is offering peace on earth.

Expect God to show His good will toward you today, even in the smallest ways, and know that He has extended His hand of peace and goodness
