Words & Whispers

I hear the Lord say:

I see you are thinking about the word ‘good’ and all of its meanings. This word has lost its ‘edge’ and has become a word to define ‘okay’ or ‘fair’. The word ‘excellent’ or ‘better/best’ has replaced it as superior and of higher desire. I want you to ponder the word ‘good’ from the biblical perspective, from its original use. Look into the book of Genesis, as it records the creation of the world. As I formed the heavens and the earth, the sky and sea, plants, sun, moon and stars, then animals, I declared all of them as ‘good.’ Creating man and woman in My image, you see in Genesis 1:31, I declared it ‘very good.” My creation is magnificent, don’t you agree? My ‘good’ is the best there is and the best there ever will be. My creation of you is ‘good’; you are my daughter; you are the best image of Me. You have special gifts and talents meant to be shared with others. Your presence on earth has a unique purpose. My goodness is reflected in your life of obedience and joy. You have all of My goodness at your disposal. Recall David’s words “Taste and see that the Lord is good.” I encourage you to dive into each day, relishing the goodness I bring you.

being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. Philippians 1:6 NIV
