Just a simple thought tonight. I don’t even really have a Bible verse to share.
I’m laying here with my one year old, putting him to sleep and I can’t help but think of the goodness of God.
We are in the middle of a snowstorm, which I’m loving, but it is cold….really cold. The feels like temperature is below zero currently and as I lay here, I’m thanking God for the house we have. It’s not the biggest or greatest house but we are warm. We are comfortable.
Too often we focus on our things and our circumstances and we forget how good God has been to us. If He just gave me salvation, that would have been enough, but He has given me so much more.
I look around and I see the goodness of God in every aspect of my life.
My wife.
My four children.
My church.
My job.
My friends.
My house.
My van.
I can go on and on and on each instance, I can see the blessing of God in each one of those. I can see the goodness of God.
The thing that amazes me the most is how good God has been even in the valleys of life. I’ve seen some of the greatest blessings during the hardest times. I can’t explain it. I don’t understand it. But my God has never failed me.
Tonight, I’m so thankful for the goodness of God.
