Immeasurably More... Good

It's such a simple yet important fact- God is Good! 

Unlike saying which football team is the best, whether Android or Apple is better or if Marmite is nice or not, God's goodness isn't up for debate. As the creator of the universe, God took His time to make everything in a specific way, setting the standard for what 'goodness' is and reflecting His goodness in all He made. 

So let's jump back to the creation story in the book of Genesis. God split the light from the dark, the skies from the dry land, and designed creatures of all kinds, those in the air, the land, and the seas. God looked at all His work and called it good. 

As an artist, God’s creations show us glimpses of who He is, His goodness shining through all that He has made.

Think about it: 

The fact that the Earth spins on a precise axis that enables us to have different seasons and climates is so good! The fact that our bodies are made up of millions upon millions of cells that all have different functions is so good! Even the way the water cycle works is so so good (I hope you paid attention to science!). 

All of these great things point back to a loving father God who has always wanted the best for us. In the bible the book of James tells us: 

"Don’t be deceived, my dear brothers and sisters. Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows." 

If God is the creator of all things good, then imagine how amazing He is!
