RHAPSODY OF REALITIES  **See The Good Only**  Wednesday 14th September . Pastor Chris

He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is full of the goodness of the LORD (Psalm 33:5).

Some people are always fishing for the wrong things; they never see good in anything or anywhere. They know all the bad things happening around, and are prompt to spread gossip, falsehood and negative information. Such people end up twisted in life, because they never see or celebrate the good in anything.

Whereas, there’re those who always think and care about the good; they see good in everything. No matter what it is, they only look out for, and celebrate the good. They’re forever “good- conscious”; not because they’re naïve, but because of the excellence of their personality. That’s how God expects you to live. The Bible says the earth is full of the goodness of the Lord; that’s all you should see—only good things.

People who peddle rumours and bad news, and only see the negative side of everything can’t make much progress in life. Their values keep depreciating, and everyone who wants to make progress avoids them. Successful people don’t want to keep the company of people who are negatively programmed; they avoid them. The Bible says, “Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend” (Proverbs 27:17).

Read the latter part of our opening verse again; it says, “...the earth is full of the goodness of the LORD” (Psalm 33:5). Choose to see the glory and goodness of God in your world. Yes, the Bible says the dark places of the earth are filled with the habitations of cruelty, but it doesn’t change the fact that the earth is full of the goodness of God. Don’t be concerned about the evil reports so much so that they produce the negative response from you; be excited about the goodness of God. The truth is, if all you see and seek is the goodness of the Lord, that’s surely what you’ll experience.

PRAYER
The earth is full of the goodness of the Lord; thus, I see and experience good things only. My life is a daily manifestation of the glory and beauty of God as I think about His goodness, accept, and celebrate His excellence that I see around me, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
