DAY 19 - GOOD

“Then God looked over all he had made, and he saw that it was very good! And evening passed and morning came, marking the sixth day.” (Genesis 1:31)

The story of our creation is not one that is filled with errors but instead perfection. You are not just a happenstance but an intentional act of God. You were created to love him and to be loved by him. Unfortunately, we know that when humankind fell from grace the image of creation became marred. It is now very difficult for us to see what is good in life and what we need to fulfill our spiritual destiny. However, I want us to look around and see all the good that is life. Every time you see the smile on the face of a child that is the goodness of God.  Every time you see a sunset or a sunrise that is the goodness of God. Every time you wake up to a new day that is the goodness of God. Yes, God is good, and you and I were created by his goodness. Live today in the knowledge of the goodness of God.

IronMaker’s Daily Challenge:  Stop and notice the beauty in nature and ponder how God created all things and loves you most of all.

Prayer:  Lord, give me eyes that are able to see the beauty in Your creation, and let me see my purpose in it.
