- Do Good
Psalm 119:68
Thou art good, and doest good;
Teach me thy statutes.
God is good. God is good in every way imaginable and in imaginably wonderful ways. God’s goodness is beyond our comprehension. All things come to us from God and all these things come from His goodness as the source. The promise is that this good God does good things. Not only does He have pleasant and lovely thoughts toward us, He thinks good things of us; He wills good things for us; He feels good about us; He acts on those feelings and does good things for us.
Some of the good things He does for us are miracles, unexpected and unnatural blessings; some of the good things He does for us are simply natural workings of created life and nature: i.e., a sunset is a good thing done by God. The miracles are rare, only a few in a lifetime, but they make a memorable splash; the natural things are common and daily they are always happening around us and in us. These good things are so many that we take them for granted and we can’t even remember them to give God thanks.
The greatest good thing that comes from God’s goodness is our salvation in Christ Jesus, the gift of eternal life, and the resurrection from the dead. That is doing good. Now I want to express my thanks and enjoy His life; therefore I want to know His laws, rules and guidelines for my life for they will be very good.
