God Most Good
“The most pretentious fact about any man is not what he at a given time may say or do, but what he in his deep heart conceives God to be like. We tend by a secret law of the soul to move toward our mental image of God.” - A.W. Tozer
Each of is to be a man, a woman, after God’s own heart.
Does your heart break for the things that break the heart of God?
Does your heart beat for the things that cause God’s heart to skip a beat?
When horses travel in a herd, their heartbeats sync. Evidently, their synced heartbeats help the herd sense danger. Incredibly intuitive creatures, horses can also sense the emotional state of their rider!
And this “in sync” phenomenon is seen in a number of other animal species. Birds of a feather don’t just flock together; they synchronize the flapping of wings. Even fireflies flash together.
This physiological phenomenon is seen in humans as well. When couples cuddle, their heartbeats sync. They also sync when people listen to the same story.
What’s really happening when we worship?
What’s really happening when we pray?
What’s really happening when we get into God’s Word?
I would argue that there is a supernatural synchronization. We are harmonizing with heaven. We are keeping in step with the Spirit. Our hearts and minds sync with the heart and mind of Christ.
In a way, each of us is drawing a picture of God all the time. If that image is off, we relate to God for the wrong reasons. For example, fear.
The last thing God wants is a fear-based relationship. Yes, the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom. (Proverbs 9:10) But in Scripture, the fear of God is an expression of awe, not intimidation! The fear of God is wonder for which there are no words. You could even call it the wonder switch.
The greatest miracles are manifestations of God’s goodness! “From his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace.” (John 1:16 ESV)
God is good, all the time.
All the time, God is good.
What evidences of God’s goodness in your own life astonish you most?
