God's Presence - a Critical Tool for AdvancementНамуна

DRAWN TO HIS GOODNESS

God’s presence reveals His goodness, a quality that draws us closer to Him. When Moses requested to see God’s glory, the Lord proclaimed His goodness, declaring, “The LORD, The LORD God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth” (Exodus 34:6). God’s presence is not just majestic but also deeply personal, reflecting His love and mercy.

Psalm 34:8 invites us to “taste and see that the LORD is good.” His goodness is not something to merely hear about but to experience firsthand. Every encounter with His presence reinforces the truth of His kindness and faithfulness.

God’s goodness is not just a theological concept; it is a reality that transforms lives. It is His goodness that leads us to repentance, restores us when we fall, and fills our hearts with gratitude. His presence reminds us that no matter how far we’ve strayed, His mercy is always within reach.

Like Moses, we are invited to dwell in the presence of His goodness and allow it to shape us. The more we experience His goodness, the more we are empowered to reflect it to those around us.

THOUGHT TO PONDER: Have you taken time to reflect on God’s goodness in your life recently? How can you extend His goodness to others in your daily interactions?

PRAYER: Father, thank You for Your abundant goodness and mercy. Help me to dwell in Your presence and to reflect Your kindness in all I do. Let my life be a testimony of Your faithfulness and grace. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
