I know that I've heard it said that "God is good all the time and all the time God is good." It is great to be reminded of this truth - but sometimes when I hear it, it sounds more like "God is not a big meanie, I need to convince myself that He is an OK guy." I think that we've been so brainwashed to believe that God is out to bonk us on the head whenever he catches us doing something wrong, that we have to convince ourselves that he is actually nice and that he wants to help us.
I don't know about you, but I want to go far beyond saying that He is just good. When I hear that phrase I want to jump up and down and shout God is awesome! He is unbelievable! He has great things in store for my life - beyond anything that I can even imagine! I want to let people know that He is not just a "nice guy" - He is God above all Gods and Lord above all Lords and He is able to bless our socks off, if we trust Him with our lives. He is definitely not a big meanie and He is more than OK. He is good. He is so so good. He is far above and beyond good though - words can't even begin to describe how wonderful He is.
So the next time you hear that God is good - believe that He is, but also believe that He is not just good - He is Incredible, Awesome, Perfect, Powerful, All-Knowing, All-loving, All-sufficient, Unbelievable, Wonderful, Terrific, Extraordinary, Fantastic, Invincible and so SO MUCH MORE.
