21 Days of God's GoodnessSample

Goodness and Declaration

Life and faith are released when we speak forth the truth of God’s word. Psalm 145 in packed full of truth about the goodness of God. This great Psalm also encourages us to declare God’s goodness in a variety of different ways. Verses 4 through 7 say,

“One generation commends your works to another; 

they tell of your mighty acts. 

They speak of the glorious splendor of your majesty— 

and I will meditate on your wonderful works.

They tell of the power of your awesome works— 

and I will proclaim your great deeds. 

They celebrate your abundant goodness 

and joyfully sing of your righteousness.”

Read through this section again and take note of the various ways we can declare the goodness of God.

Wow! Imagine the power of putting this into practice! I want to encourage you today to do just what this Psalm is telling us to do. Declare that God is good. Think about His goodness. Speak of His goodness. Maybe even get really crazy and sing about His goodness. The power of God’s goodness is released upon our lives and the lives of others as we confidently declare it!
