God’s Goodness
Exodus 33:18-19, 34:5-7; Psalm 103
Taste and see that the Lord is good
- God is good
- All of creation comes from God’s goodness
- Rejoice in the ways God expresses his goodness towards you
Good morning church family! (Introduce self + welcome guests)
This December we’re studying the character of our God in a series titled Let God Reign. I appreciated how Frasier pointed out the cheekiness of the title last week. As the Only Sovereign being in the entire universe, we do not let God do anything. He is the One in charge. However, we are still responsible for our response to Him! Your response to God must align with the reality of who He is. Does the way you live indicate that you are “letting” God reign in and through you? *pause*
Over the course of the month, we are getting to study some incredible truths about who God is. (Click through images as I mention them) He is sovereign. He is good. He is immutable (unchanging). He is all-knowing (omniscient). God the Son came down and took on flesh and dwelt among us (incarnate). He is all-powerful (omnipotent). (Sermon graphic with all 6 attributes)
These realities are not true some of the time. They are always true. God is always sovereign. He is always good. And so on… That should blow your mind! I hope that we will walk away each Sunday with a BIGGER view of our God. A view that helps us combat the temptation to live for and worship lesser things throughout our weeks. Even better that this is the Advent season, and we are actively preparing to celebrate the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ! I want to encourage you to use the church’s Advent devotional to cultivate this God-centered way of life this month. (Title slide)

I’d like to pose a scenario to you. Please try to imagine this as best you can… Can you imagine being defined by a particular quality? For example, you are ALWAYS grumpy. Everything you think, say, and do is characterized by your grumpiness. You wake up muttering under your breath about having to face a new day. You kick the cat on your way to the restroom for simply existing and being in your way. You slam the toilet seat up or down, frustrated that no one else has the common courtesy to leave it the way civilized people like yourself want it. Your grumpiness doesn’t stop there, it continues into the day. Your family makes it their aim to stay out of your way. Your co-workers disperse from the breakroom when you walk in. You are a walking minus sign. You get the idea. Grumpiness is your way of life – it never lets up – day after day, week after week, year after year. You are ALWAYS grumpy.
The point of this is to demonstrate how unrealistic it is. None of us is ALWAYS one particular way. We change. Our attitude and actions are often influenced by our changing circumstances. Perhaps you came in here this morning a bit downtrodden but will leave encouraged. Change is a part of humanity.
But now let’s consider that God is unchanging! He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. In fact, we’ll study God’s immutability (unchangeableness) more next week. But for today, I want you to consider this in light of God’s goodness. God is always good. He has always been good and always will be good. All that he is and does is informed by His innate goodness. God will not and cannot do anything that is not coming from his goodness. And that is how it ALWAYS has been, ALWAYS is, and ALWAYS will be. You see, unlike us, God is consistent and steady. He is reliable. And when it comes to the reality of His goodness, this is a very powerful truth indeed.
How often do you slow down to meditate on such a wonderful truth? To let the reality of God’s goodness sink into your heart and influence your life… That’s exactly what my aim is today. I want us to…
Taste and see that the Lord is good
This was the invitation of King David in Psalm 34…
Psalm 34:8 (ESV)
8 Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good!
Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him!
Put another way – savor this truth about God’s goodness like your Thanksgiving feast. Look intently into the reality that God is good and seek to understand it! Our study begins in the pages of Exodus. Look with me at Exodus 33:18-19. The context of this passage is Moses having led the nation of Israel out of Egypt and arriving at Mount Sinai, where God gave him the 10 commandments. Unfortunately, Israel had committed grave idolatry by fashioning a golden calf while Moses was up on the mountain with God. Now Moses is seeking reassurance that God will still go with them. Let’s read the text.
Exodus 33:18–19 (ESV)
18 Moses said, “Please show me your glory.” 19 And he said, “I will make all my goodness pass before you and will proclaim before you my name ‘The Lord.’ And I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show mercy on whom I will show mercy.
What a fascinating interaction! God speaking directly to Moses, answering his request to see God’s glory. And how did God respond? “I will make all my goodness pass before you…” Why goodness when Moses asked for glory? Because God’s goodness is his moral perfection, and it encapsulates so much of what man experiences in his relationship with God. Pastor Kevin DeYoung says, “God’s goodness is the overflowing bounty of God’s essence expressed to us.” And this overflowing bounty of God’s essence is glorious! Look at the very next chapter in verses 5-8 when this comes to pass.
Exodus 34:5–8 (ESV)
5 The Lord descended in the cloud and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of the Lord. 6 The Lord passed before him and proclaimed, “The Lord, the Lord, a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness, 7 keeping steadfast love for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, but who will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children and the children’s children, to the third and the fourth generation.” 8 And Moses quickly bowed his head toward the earth and worshiped.
Do you hear the goodness and glory of God revealed here? He is a merciful God. A gracious God. A patient, slow to anger God. A God who abounds in steadfast love (hesed) and faithfulness (truth). He is a forgiving God, yet also a just God. These are all outworkings of God’s goodness and they are glorious! What a brilliant and pure picture they paint of our Creator. I look forward to unpacking this further as we go today. But first…
It probably goes without saying that our first takeaway in our study of God’s goodness this morning is the reality that…
- God is good
This is our baseline from which we will build today. But what does it mean to say that God is good?
When we say that God is good, what that means is that His essence (His intrinsic nature) is admirable, attractive, and praiseworthy. Theologian and author J.I. Packer wrote, “When the biblical writers call God good, they are thinking in general of all those moral qualities which prompt his people to call him perfect, and in particular of the generosity which moves them to call him merciful and gracious and to speak of his love.” (Knowing God)
So earlier, when we heard King David invite the people to taste and see that the Lord is good, he was doing so in reference to the deliverance that God had provided to him from Abimelech. God had proven to be a trustworthy refuge in time of need, which was evidence of God’s goodness! In Psalm 107, the psalmist pens:
Psalm 107:1–2 (ESV)
Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good,
for his steadfast love endures forever!
2 Let the redeemed of the Lord say so,
whom he has redeemed from trouble
This time the Lord’s goodness is revealed in his steadfast love which has benefited those whom he has redeemed from trouble. And on and on we could go with example after example from the Scriptures. We’ll take time to go in more depth on specifics of God’s goodness later in the sermon. For now, I simply want you to see and hear that God is good. This is affirmed over and over again in the Scriptures. In fact, it must be true about Him because He is God. God is perfect in character. Goodness finds its origin in Him. God is known as the greatest good because there is no one more morally pure than He! And from his perfection of character (his goodness) he only does good (perfection of activity). If you were here last week, you may recall that Frasier ended his sermon with the doxology, which begins with, “Praise God from whom all blessings flow…” This is true because God is good and the source of all good in our universe.
Theologian Wayne Grudem adds a helpful perspective when he explains it this way, “God is the final standard of good, and all that God is and does is worthy of approval.”
This is exactly what we hear coming from the throne room of heaven in the book of Revelation. As God sits on his throne, the magnificent beings in his throne room cry out:
Revelation 4:8–11 (ESV)
8 And the four living creatures, each of them with six wings, are full of eyes all around and within, and day and night they never cease to say,
“Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God Almighty,
who was and is and is to come!”
9 And whenever the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to him who is seated on the throne, who lives forever and ever, 10 the twenty-four elders fall down before him who is seated on the throne and worship him who lives forever and ever. They cast their crowns before the throne, saying,
11 “Worthy are you, our Lord and God,
to receive glory and honor and power,
for you created all things,
and by your will they existed and were created.”
God is perfectly holy, perfectly good, and worthy of approval. In fact, the cry of these heavenly rulers worshiping God anticipates our next takeaway in tasting and seeing that the Lord is good. It is that…
- All of creation comes from God’s goodness
The heavenly rulers cried out, “For you created all things, and by your will they existed and were created.” This is a true statement about the origin of all things. The pre-existent, eternal God is the Creator God. All of creation comes from God’s goodness.
Put another way… It originates from him! Flows from him! Its genesis is in him!
The beautiful sunshine you enjoyed on your drive in? That came from God’s goodness.
Genesis 1:3–4 (ESV)
3 And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. 4 And God saw that the light was good. And God separated the light from the darkness.
This planet that you call home and enjoy living on? Comes from God’s goodness.
Genesis 1:10 (ESV)
10 God called the dry land Earth, and the waters that were gathered together he called Seas. And God saw that it was good.
The beauty of April showers that bring May flowers? Or that Christmas tree in your living room this season? (If it’s not fake!) God’s goodness.
Genesis 1:12 (ESV)
12 The earth brought forth vegetation, plants yielding seed according to their own kinds, and trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.
The awesome splendor of the full Moon or Northern Lights or constellations like the Big Dipper? God’s goodness.
Genesis 1:17–18 (ESV)
17 And God set them in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth, 18 to rule over the day and over the night, and to separate the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good.
Those playful dolphins you saw on vacation, the bass you enjoy catching from the local pond, or those pets you are so fond of? God’s goodness.
Genesis 1:21 (ESV)
21 So God created the great sea creatures and every living creature that moves, with which the waters swarm, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.
Genesis 1:25 (ESV)
25 And God made the beasts of the earth according to their kinds and the livestock according to their kinds, and everything that creeps on the ground according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.
Every single breath you’ve ever taken and will take yet today? The laughter you share with friends and loved ones? The wonderful experience of deep human relationships? All from God’s goodness.
Genesis 1:31 (ESV)
31 And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good…
God’s goodness informs everything He creates. As we heard last week from James 1:17, “every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights…”
Every good and perfect gift… including the Son of God taking on human form and walking among us as our Savior. After all that’s what we’re celebrating this Christmas season! Every single aspect of God’s grand redemption plan and the forgiveness and hope of eternal life that we enjoy from it are sourced in God’s goodness!
I hope by this point you would agree that God’s goodness is both incredible and awe-inspiring. That you would say, “I am tasting and seeing that the Lord is good! Give me more!”
I intend to do exactly that! Let’s turn our attention to Psalm 103, which some of you sought to memorize through the FighterVerse plan this year. This can be found on page 594 of the Bibles handed out earlier. If you’re willing, let’s read this hymn of David aloud together. It is a great reminder of many ways that we taste and see the Lord’s goodness to us. I think it would be powerful to repeat it together as it was designed for. I’ve broken it up into smaller segments to show on the screen as we go.
Psalm 103:1–22 (ESV)
1 Bless the Lord, O my soul,
and all that is within me,
bless his holy name!
2 Bless the Lord, O my soul,
and forget not all his benefits,
3 who forgives all your iniquity,
who heals all your diseases,
4 who redeems your life from the pit,
who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy,
5 who satisfies you with good
so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
6 The Lord works righteousness
and justice for all who are oppressed.
7 He made known his ways to Moses,
his acts to the people of Israel.
8 The Lord is merciful and gracious,
slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.
9 He will not always chide,
nor will he keep his anger forever.
10 He does not deal with us according to our sins,
nor repay us according to our iniquities.
11 For as high as the heavens are above the earth,
so great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him;
12 as far as the east is from the west,
so far does he remove our transgressions from us.
13 As a father shows compassion to his children,
so the Lord shows compassion to those who fear him.
14 For he knows our frame;
he remembers that we are dust.
15 As for man, his days are like grass;
he flourishes like a flower of the field;
16 for the wind passes over it, and it is gone,
and its place knows it no more.
17 But the steadfast love of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear him,
and his righteousness to children’s children,
18 to those who keep his covenant
and remember to do his commandments.
19 The Lord has established his throne in the heavens,
and his kingdom rules over all.
20 Bless the Lord, O you his angels,
you mighty ones who do his word,
obeying the voice of his word!
21 Bless the Lord, all his hosts,
his ministers, who do his will!
22 Bless the Lord, all his works,
in all places of his dominion.
Bless the Lord, O my soul!
What an incredible reminder of God’s goodness, expressed to us in so many beautiful and powerful ways! As we walk through this Psalm, I want to encourage you to taste and see that the Lord is good as you personally…
- Rejoice in the ways God expresses his goodness towards you
David begins the Psalm with a call to bless or praise the Lord with everything that he has. This is a whole-bodied, whole-souled response of worship to Yahweh! Will you join David in this whole-bodied, whole-souled response of worship?
Let’s consider in more detail the ways God expresses his goodness towards you from this Psalm. These are the benefits that David calls us to remember and rejoice in:
- God forgives all your iniquity (v3)
Iniquity means sin or guilt. And what does God do with all our sin/guilt!? He forgives it. Some of it? NO! All of it!
What a beautiful expression of God’s goodness towards us! God, the eternally, perfectly righteous King has chosen to pardon the transgressor. Though we are dead in our sin, he, in his goodness, has provided a way of escape so that we may have new life.
In King David’s day, he only knew of the sacrificial system found in the Law, but in our day, we know of the greater, once-for-all sacrifice for our sins – Jesus Christ. This is what we celebrate at Christmas! That God the Son took on flesh and dwelt among us so that he could accomplish the grand redemption plan at the Cross and in the resurrection. Jesus made a way for sinners like us to be FORGIVEN and FREE through faith in Him.
Thank you, God, for your goodness in forgiving ALL our sins!
- God heals all your diseases (v3)
Not only did God take care of our greatest problem in forgiving our sin, but he also expresses his goodness towards us in this life through the healing of our diseases. God has authority over illness. We see this demonstrated repeatedly in the life of Jesus when he healed the sick, the lame, the blind, and even raised the dead.
Anytime God chooses to heal an illness is a demonstration of his goodness. When we are sick, we should pray to God and ask him to heal us. In the New Testament, the apostle James encourages those who are sick to call for the elders of the church so that they may anoint them with oil and pray over them in God’s name. God delights to answer our prayers for healing.
However, we must understand that God’s answer to our requests for healing is not always “yes”. Even King David experienced this when his first child with Bathsheba was not healed. But in the midst of such experiences, we can trust that God is good and at work for our good and his glory. That is David’s conclusion, and we would do well to learn from it. God’s goodness is not based on us getting the outcome we desire. He is good and whatever he provides must be for good. Last week Frasier explained some of the ways God’s providence works in whether in blessing or affliction.
No matter what God’s answer might be, we can and should say, “Thank you, God, for your goodness in healing all our diseases!”
- God redeems your life from the pit (v4)
God expresses his goodness towards us by providing the hope of eternal life! David is quite forthright here. We were born in sin and heading towards the pit (hell), yet God provided a way of salvation for his people. While it is hard to rank the expressions of God’s goodness, this has got to be near the top for sinners like us!
The Apostles Peter and John declare the way of salvation clearly in the book of Acts:
Acts 4:11–12 (ESV)
11 This Jesus is the stone that was rejected by you, the builders, which has become the cornerstone. 12 And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”
If your faith is in Jesus Christ alone for salvation, then you have tasted and seen God’s goodness in redemption. If you have not trusted in Jesus Christ alone for salvation, then today can be the day of salvation for you. What is it that is keeping you from confessing your sin and asking him to save you? I’d love to talk with you more about that after the service.
Do we stop to consider just what Jesus endured so that we might be saved? Yes, Christmas is about his birth, but why did he come? So that he could endure the Cross! So that he could bear the wrath of God for my sins and yours! So that we might be counted righteous with his righteousness and that he might take our sin upon himself. He tasted death and wrath so that I don’t have to! And neither do you!
Thank you, God, for your goodness in my redemption!
- God crowns you with steadfast love and mercy (v4)
Not only do we not face judgment in the pit, but God adopts us into his royal family! The promise for his people is that they will be crowned with steadfast love and mercy. This is speaking of being covered by God’s love and mercy.
What a change! No longer are we under God’s wrath but under his love and mercy. God’s goodness is expressed towards you in every act of love that he demonstrates to you. From your adoption into his family, to the many good gifts he lavishes upon you throughout your life, you are deeply loved by God. His mercy is his goodness expressed to you when you are in distress. I love how Paul speaks of God in 2 Corinthians 1:3-4:
2 Corinthians 1:3–4 (ESV)
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, 4 who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.
This became a very precious promise to me when I was going through my own season of distress a few years back. God delights to show mercy and provide comfort to you when you are in distress! If you are going through a trial right now, do not turn from God, but run deeper into his embrace. Why would you turn from the only One who can truly comfort you in time of need?
Thank you, God, for your goodness in crowning me with steadfast love and mercy!
- God satisfies you with good (v5)
So that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s. Meaning that God delights to show his goodness towards you by giving you good things, so you’re encouraged to keep running the race of faith. How sweet is it when God provides a deep friendship or longed-for opportunity at work or even just a quiet morning in front of your fireplace and Christmas tree with a good book? These are good gifts that come from our Heavenly Father. He wants you to be satisfied in him and his provision so that you would have endurance to run the race of faith until the end.
The nation of Israel had certainly wrestled with finding their satisfaction in the wrong things throughout their history. David is reminding himself and them that the Lord is the source of satisfaction and the one to whom they should look. It is a good reminder to us today that our satisfaction must be found in God, not in living for the things of earth. We were not made to worship creation but the Creator. Anything else is disordered living! Put another way, it’s not about what God can give me, it’s about knowing Him!
Thank you, God, for your goodness in satisfying me with good! Help me not to live for your creation rather than you.
In verses 1-5, King David reflected on specific benefits that God had provided. Now, in verses 6-18, he reflects on God’s provision to the nation of Israel through the historical Exodus account. There is a tie-in here in verse 8 to what we read from Exodus 34:6 earlier. This serves to make the rejoicing in God’s goodness even more sweet. For even in the midst of human unworthiness, such as when God’s people built the golden calf while he was meeting with Moses in fury and flame on top of Mount Sinai… even in the midst of that, God’s goodness shines forth.
- God works righteousness and justice for all who are oppressed (v6)
He had rescued the nation of Israel out of Egypt. He provided a deliverer through Moses. He heard the cries of his people and answered them. God does not delight to see injustice and ungodliness ruling the day. He cares for the oppressed and moves towards them.
He does this because he is good. And it is appropriate for us to rejoice in this expression of his goodness. Without it, history would be forever changed. Israel would have remained in captivity. The hope of the Messiah would not have come to fruition. They would have died in their sins and so would we.
Thank you, God, for your goodness in working righteousness and justice for all who are oppressed! Both Israel in their day and those who are oppressed in ours.
- God makes known his ways and acts (v7)
God is not far off and aloof. He did not create all things and then walk away saying, “Good luck!” No, he made known his ways to Moses by speaking with him as a friend. He made known his acts to the people of Israel through many incredible events and the prophets. God does not conceal his will and ways from us! He does not leave us guessing on how we ought to live or on what his expectations are for his creation.
Our God, in his goodness, has revealed his expectation of holiness and his grand plan of redemption to make us holy as he is holy. God has been faithfully involved in creating a people for himself since the beginning. In his goodness, he is a heavenly Father who is near to his children and seeks to train them up in the way that they should go. We cannot claim ignorance of God’s will and ways when he has provided his clear revelation right here in his word!
Thank you, God, for your goodness in making known your ways and acts to us!
Now we have our quote from Exodus 34:6 in verse 8, “The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.”
- God is merciful (v8)
- God is gracious (v8)
- God is slow to anger (v8)
- God is abounding in steadfast love (v8)
In our Advent devotional we pointed out that each of these are expressions of God’s goodness:
- Mercy – his goodness towards those in distress
- Grace – his goodness towards those who deserve punishment
- Patience – his goodness towards those who continue to sin
These verses and those that follow are showing just how rich the goodness and lovingkindness of God is. He is not like humans who struggle to forgive and are tempted to stay angry. Even when faced with great sin against him, such as the idolatry of the golden calf, God is still willing to show mercy and grace. He is a slow-to-anger/patient God.
Paul would later call upon the people of his day to respond appropriately to God’s goodness expressed in these ways:
Romans 2:4 (ESV)
4 Or do you presume on the riches of his kindness and forbearance and patience, not knowing that God’s kindness is meant to lead you to repentance?
When you realize how good God is you ought to be convicted of your need to respond to him in faith! My hope is that if you do not yet believe you will taste and see that the Lord is good today, turn from your sin and believe in him!
But for the rest of us, who have already been recipients of God’s mercy and grace and patience, how much more should we rejoice this morning!? You have tasted and seen that the Lord is good. Your salvation is evidence of that! Rejoice in the steadfast love of the Lord. Thank you, God, for your mercy, grace, patience, and steadfast love shown to me!
David then goes on to show how God is different than mere men, who can be petty and vindicative:
- God does not always chide or keep his anger forever (v9)
- God does not deal with/repay us according to our sins (v10)
Even though God had many reasons to wipe out Israel he relented and persevered with them through the golden calf incident, and many others throughout their history. He continues to do the same with his people today.
- God’s steadfast love is great toward those who fear him (v11)
- As high as the heavens are above the earth
- God removes our transgressions from us (12)
- As far as the east is from the west!
He uses two analogies that drive home just how great God’s love and forgiveness are. They are immeasurably great! Far beyond what you can comprehend. Then he shifts to a familial analogy:
- God shows compassion to those who fear him (v13)
- Like a father to his children
- Because he knows how finite/weak we are (v14)
When one of your children struggles with sin and comes seeking forgiveness, a good father stands ready to forgive. He has compassion for his children because he understands that they are weak and need help. He knows that he can help them, so he moves towards them to offer aid in time of need. That is exactly how God treats us. When we come to him in our brokenness, asking for his forgiveness and help, he delights to move toward us in compassion to help in our time of need. I love how this is highlighted in the book of Hebrews:
Hebrews 4:14–16 (ESV)
14 Since then we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. 15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. 16 Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
Consider just how rich God’s goodness is today! He is near to you. He stands ready to comfort you. He is willing and able to forgive you. He can heal you. He will crown you with steadfast love and mercy. He alone can satisfy your soul with good.
You are not alone. You do not have to stay stuck in your sin and brokenness. There is a way forward. There is a way out. There is hope for tomorrow. There is hope for eternity! For as we see in verse 17:
- God’s love is eternal in duration (v17)
God is not only concerned with this life, but he also cares about the life to come. We are created for eternity. God, in his goodness, has provided an eternal love that will sustain you forever. But you must respond in faith and obedience. That is the qualifier given in verse 18. Though God’s goodness is shared with everyone in some ways, as we read in Psalm 145:
Psalm 145:9 (ESV)
9 The Lord is good to all,
and his mercy is over all that he has made.
Everyone gets to experience some aspects of God’s goodness and mercy. However, God’s eternal saving love and grace are only shared with those who believe in and follow him. So, believe in and follow him today!
And for those who do believe and follow him, rejoice in the many ways that God expresses his goodness to you.
- God made you and all things (Genesis 1)
- God forgives all your iniquity (v3)
- God heals all your diseases (v3)
- God redeems your life from the pit (v4)
- God crowns you with steadfast love and mercy (v4)
- God satisfies you with good (v5)
- God works righteousness and justice for all who are oppressed (v6)
- God makes known his ways and acts (v7)
- God is merciful (v8)
- God is gracious (v8)
- God is slow to anger (v8)
- God is abounding in steadfast love (v8)
- God does not always chide or keep his anger forever (v9)
- God does not deal with/repay us according to our sins (v10)
- God’s steadfast love is great toward those who fear him (v11)
- God removes our transgressions from us (12)
- God shows compassion to those who fear him (v13)
- God’s love is eternal in duration (v17)
How good is our God!?
And I want to be clear. This is not an exhaustive list of God’s goodness. This is only scratching the surface. I hope you’ll add to this list as you seek to know God and experience his goodness in your life.
Let’s pray.
Pray
