Love of God
Devotions:
“He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is full of the goodness of the Lord.”
Psalms 33:5 KJV
God's goodness is available everywhere on the earth but it is not manifest everywhere. We access God' s goodness by faith. When we believe in God's goodness for us is available for the asking we will see it manifest for us when we ask.
God is the only good in the universe and God is only good. The more we understand about God's goodness towards us the more faith we have God's blessings to us, the more confidence we have in God's provision for us in every area of our lives. It is the love of God that brings us to repentence. The more we receive His goodness the more we believe in His love for us.
The enemy is the one who brings into question God's love and goodness for us. Satan did this to Eve and Adam, he called into question God's word and God's commitment of love to them. Adam and Eve chose to believe Satan's accusations rather than God's over abundant love for them. Satan tries to do the same to us.
“For the love of Christ controls and urges and impels us, because we are of the opinion and conviction that [if] One died for all, then all died;” 2 Corinthians 5:14 AMP
We must be confident of the love of God within us and God's love for us. As we express our praise for what God's word reveals about His over whelming love for us we grow in our confidence in that love and our faith in that love.
