God is Goodness
he rained down manna for the people to eat, he gave them the grain of heaven. Psalm 78:24
I want it all and I want it now! With today’s automation and technology, we have become an on-demand, instant gratification generation.
What is so interesting is that same selfish desire hasn’t changed much since creation. Eve had everything she could possibly want, but she had to have the forbidden fruit too. And the Israelites were not satisfied with manna from heaven that God provided. Ultimately, God grew tired of their grumbling and let them have their way. They feasted on quail to their hearts delight, however, their lack of trust angered the Lord and many were destroyed.
Thousands of years have passed since these events happened, but our selfish desires have not changed. Fortunately God’s goodness and mercy remain true to his promises. He always provides us with what we need. It is just sometimes we don’t think we have what we want or we don’t see from where our provision truly comes.
What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us? Romans 8:31
Because God is goodness, we can trust that all our needs will be met through Christ.
