"Good and upright is the Lord;
therefore he instructs sinners in the way.
He leads the humble in what is right,
and teaches the humble his way.
All the paths of the Lord are steadfast love and faithfulness,
for those who keep his covenant and his testimonies.
For your name's sake, O Lord,
pardon my guilt, for it is great."
Good, God is the definition of good, and he is perfectly consistent, so Good is defined by God and God doesn't deviate from Himself.
It is because of God's goodness that He instructs us, that He guides us in the way we should go: and these paths are paved with his 'steadfast love' and His 'faithfulness'. God will not change mid-way and alter what is right or wrong. Instead, with steadfastness--with 'keeping on keeping on' God blesses us.
And because of His goodness, because of His 'keeping on keeping on' being good to us, we ask Him for still more blessing: forgive me Lord. You have been so good for so long, keep it up; bless me again, and bless me with forgiveness.
Father in Heaven, thank You for your steadfast, continual, persevering love. Son beside us, thank You for purifying us. Spirit inside us, thank You for showing us the way through this Valley of the Shadow of Death that we live in every single day.
What situation or circumstance in your life do you need to trust God to deal 'steadfastly with love' for you in?
Walking with you,
Pastor Greg
