The Goodness of God

The Goodness of God

Scripture: "Give thanks to the Lord, for the Lord is good; God's love endures forever." (Psalm 107:1)

Today, as we gather with loved ones or find moments of quiet reflection, we are reminded of the boundless goodness of God in our lives. Cece Winans beautifully captures this truth in the song "Goodness of God," singing: "All my life You have been faithful, all my life You have been so, so good. With every breath that I am able, I will sing of the goodness of God."

Even in seasons of difficulty, the unwavering presence of God sustains us. As I wrote in Positioned for a Breakthrough: Unlocking Strategies for Extraordinary Success, "The greatest breakthroughs begin with a heart of gratitude and a mindset of expectation. When we see God's hand at work in every moment, we unlock the power to transform challenges into triumphs."

On this Thanksgiving Day, let us pause to recognize God's provision, protection, and promises. Gratitude shifts our focus from what we lack to the abundance of blessings surrounding us. Each sunrise, each opportunity, and each connection we share is a testament to God's enduring love.

Daily Affirmations:

• I am grateful for the love of God that fills my life each day.

• I trust in God's faithfulness and goodness to guide me in every situation.

• I choose to see the blessings in my life and give thanks for them.

• I will be a reflection of God's love by sharing kindness and compassion with others.

A tangible way to express our gratitude is by extending kindness to others. When we share God's love through a kind word, a thoughtful gesture, or helping someone in need, we mirror the goodness we have received. Let us use this Thanksgiving season to intentionally uplift those around us, becoming vessels of God's grace in their lives.

Gracious and loving God, We come before You with hearts full of gratitude for Your goodness and faithfulness. Thank You for every blessing, every challenge that has strengthened us, and every moment that has drawn us closer to You. Help us to live with thankful hearts, not just today but every day. Empower us to share Your love through acts of kindness, becoming reflections of Your grace in the world. With every breath, may we honor You. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Today, take a few minutes to write down three things you are thankful for. Then, consider one way you can show kindness to someone—a phone call, a word of encouragement, or a small act of service. In doing so, you are sharing the goodness of God with others.

Happy Thanksgiving!
