I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living
Psalm 27:13 "I would have lost heart, unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living." Psalm 27
When I heard this at church it really made me think. What will it look like to actually see God's goodness?
Psalm 23:6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; And I will dwell in the house of the Lord.
God's goodness is as infinite as He is. There is no end to His goodness. So how does it show up? I think it looks like when we're good to one another - to our family, kids, friends. It's something tangible. People know when you've been good to them. I think if we're tuned in, we know when God is good to us, too. He's the God of the little and big things.
That our sons may be as plants grown up in their youth;
That our daughters may be as pillars, sculptured in palace style;
That our barns may be full, supplying all kinds of produce;
That our sheep may bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our fields;
That our oxen may be well laden;
That there be no breaking in or going out;
Happy are the people who are in such a state;
Happy are the people whose God is the Lord!
