God our Father is good. The Bible says to give thanks to the Lord, who is our Father, for he is good. Yesterday, we looked at the fact that we are children of God. And as such, we are created in his image and likeness. He is good. Therefore, we have the capacity to be good. However, because of sin and the fall of humanity, hate and rebellion have become the norm instead of being good.
Nevertheless, our Father remains good. God's not being good, or doing good things, he is good; that's who he is; his very nature is good.
Today, we have fathers killing their own children, fathers abandoning their children, and fathers abusing their own children, but as a child of God, I'm not worried about being abandoned, abused, or even mistreated because my Father—God is good. There's nothing you can do to cause God not to love you. His love is forever. Not just when you are good, but in your worst and lowest sinful state, his love endures. That's enough to make us excited today about our Father—he's good.
Family today might be challenging because we have so much that we are dealing with in this world, such as hurt, hate, violence, and meanness. Remind yourself that your Father is good and you're his child, you have what it takes to also be good.
Challenge:
Be the good that you want to see in the world, Your Daddy is good and you are made in his image and likeness, you have the DNA of goodness in you.
