RESTORATION TODAY
THURSDAY 9TH FEBRUARY 2017
BY PASTOR DR. G.O. OLUTOLA JP.
THEME: DISCERNING GOD'S GOODNESS.
Oh how great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee; which thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee before the sons of men! Psalm 31: 19.
People are fond of saying God is good! when all is going well but they doubt His benevolence when the blessings they envisioned don?t materialize.
Because God alone is good, only He can accurately determine what is best for each person. Some of His gifts are experiences we would never choose, but the Lord knows we need them in order to grow in faith, obedience, and perseverance.
Consider The Following Expressions Of God's Goodness Toward Us:
DISCIPLINE IN LOVE. Since God's love is unfailing, He corrects us when we refuse to follow Him and instead go our own way. The process is painful, but the result is the peaceful fruit of righteousness (Hebrews 12: 11).
WISE LIMITATIONS. Satan offers a world of opportunities and possessions that seem to promise happiness but ultimately draw us away from God. With great wisdom, the Lord lovingly withholds those that prove detrimental to our spiritual life.
USEFUL SUFFERING. God knows which refining experiences we need in order to become fruitful in His kingdom. If evidence compels us to doubt His goodness, we must remember that while His gifts come in variety of wrappings, they are always beneficial. As Psalm 34: 8 says, O taste and see that the Lord is good?.
ACTION POINTS
God's goodness comes in different ways, some of which we may not like humanly speaking.
SCRIPTURES:
Hebrews 12: 11
Psalm 34: 8.
PRAYER POINTS:
1. Father, thank You for Your discipline in my life in the name of Jesus.
2. O Lord, thank You for Your wise limitations in my life in the name of Jesus
3. Father, thank You for the useful sufferings in my life in the name of Jesus.
DAILY BIBLE READING:
Genesis 47: 27 - 48: 22
Psalm 26 & 27
Matthew 26: 58 - 75.
