God's Goodness

It has been SO long since I last wrote. It has been so long that I even forgot how to create a post in my blog :) but today something came to my mind that I wanted to share about as I thought of God's goodness.

Matty came home today for lunch just so he could play with Rebekah in the melted snow/ice. After they got done playing outside I heated up some soup and reminded Rebekah, "isn't your papa such a good papa that he came home for lunch just to play in the snow with you?" and then I proceeded to tell her that she needed to thank him for that. This led to another conversation of God's goodness to us when I told her, "that is how good God is to us, Rebekah." Rebekah and I memorize Bible verses and one of them is Psalm 34:8, "Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good! Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him!" I try to use the things all around us to help her understand what the verses actually mean. So this was a perfect example for me to use to help her understand the verse and to help her think of God's goodness to us.

I was then thinking dwelling on this beautiful picture. I am so thankful that Rebekah will be able to understand better God's goodness, better than me for sure, because she has a father who cares for her every need, who loves her deeply and who only looks out for her good and best interest. She will be able to see God as a good father who also does the same for her and even more because He is perfect and truly good. She will also be able to trust Him even when things get tough, can't understand or when they don't happen the way that she wanted them to happen because her earthly dad tries to give her only what is best for her even when the best is not what she really wants.

It was just a neat insight that the Lord was giving me today. God is so good in revealing himself to us and giving us understanding of His beautiful Truth.
