Celebrate God’s Goodness

The earth is the LORD’s, and all its fullness, the world and those who dwell therein. For He has founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the waters (Psalm 24:1-2).

As God’s children, we’re the seed of Abraham, and that makes us heirs according to the promise: “And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise” (Galatians 3:29).

We’re heirs of God; and if the earth belongs to Him, then it belongs to us too, since we’re joint heirs with Christ: “And if children, then heirs–heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ…” (Romans 8:17). So, you see, the world belongs to us; it’s ours to enjoy.

The Bible says the earth is full of the goodness of the Lord (Psalm 33:5). This is so wonderful! Think about it: in spite of the terrible things we hear happening in the world, the earth is still full of God’s goodness.

Notice it doesn’t say “The earth has God’s goodness,” but that it’s “full of His goodness.” The goodness of God in the earth is enough for everyone to enjoy.

Read the words of the Master, as He emphasised very Clearly the reason He came: “I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows)” (John 10:10 AMP). He didn’t just come for us to have life, but that we may enjoy it also.

You have to learn to enjoy whatever God gives you because it shows your appreciation. If you don’t enjoy them, you can’t really appreciate them, and therefore, can’t be truly thankful. Start from where you are-with what you have – and what you do!

Enjoy your family and relatives, friends and neighbours, the house where you live, the school/institution you attend, your clothes, even the food you eat each day! You owe it to yourself to enjoy your life!

Be happy about yourself Laugh more, smile more, dance even more! Celebrate God’s goodness and excellence in your life. Hallelujah!
