Podcast 31: "Goodness In Spite Of"
Welcome to this week’s “In the Little things” Podcast. We hope you’ve had a great week! We love coming to you each week and lifting you up with God's word and encouragement to see the “little” and “big” blessings that we are given in God's grace. We know this life can SEEM lonely, scary, and even sad at times but we want to encourage you and let you know that YOU ARE NOT ALONE!! This week we come with Gail's “True Story” of God's goodness! So take a deep breath as you listen now as Gail shares a true story of is week experience of God's goodness!
Scripture:
(Psalm 23:6) “Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord.”
(Galatians 6:10) “Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.”
(Jeremiah 29:11) “ For I know the plans I have for you. Plans to prosper you and not to harm you. Plans of hope and future.”
Application: Being a good person is in the eye and mind of the person who has to make the right decisions everyday. It isn't easy to be good all the time. Adam and Eve shows us how fallible we truly can be, however we have been given his Holy Spirit and His Holy Word to be able to override our tendency to disobey or make bad decisions. Just like Gail could have naturally and perhaps justly retaliated the meanness of the customer service representative, she chose , with the aid of the Holy Spirit, to be kind and good towards her and obeyed the Holy Spirits prompting so that she could be the light of God, to her. To apply God's instructions in the His Word and to follow the leading of the Holy Spirit, we can be GOOD!
Challenge: If there has ever been a time to shine the light of God in the deep darkness of the world, IT IS NOW! This week's challenge is to be God's light to a world that is desperately searching for HIM! Seek God's goodness in every engagement we come across at the grocery store, school, parking lots, roads, and wherever we are and whomever we are with.
Devotional Insight: This journey is what you make it to be. We have freewill to follow the world's definition of “Goodness” or what God's definition of goodness is. Throughout the bible, God displays His goodness, from beginning to the end. Jesus also displays his goodness to all people, even those who reject him. Being good does not always mean you will be accepted or even liked, but sometimes quite the opposite. Being Good does mean that God our Father will be pleased. So the question is … Who are you trying to please and have proud of you? God or people? God's only asks you to love another in service to HIM!
