Topic: He’s Been Good!
Text: Ps 116: 7-9, 12- 14
7 Return to your rest, my soul, for the Lord has been good to you. 8 For you, Lord, have delivered me from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling, 9 that I may walk before the Lord in the land of the living.
12 What shall I return to the Lord for all His goodness to me? I will lift up the cup of salvation and call on the name of the Lord. I will fulfil my vows to the Lord in the presence of all His people. Amen
It has not been so long when you thought you wouldn’t make it through another day. That faithful day when cords of death entangled you and the anguish of the grave came directly over your family. With tears that will never cease, you poured out your troubled soul to the Lord hoping that mercy will intervene. Now here you are, standing stronger with a beaming smile that reflects the joy within your soul. If it hadn’t been the Lord on your side, let Isreal say!
You also remember how many times you gave up the try for a better tomorrow because doors were never opening for you? Those days when you felt your prayers only hit the ceiling of your room and bounce back to you? Now see what the Lord has done. Suddenly, doors are opening on every side with extended blessings spilling on all those loved ones who stood with you through the storm. If this is not the handy work of the Lord, let Isreal say!
HE HAS BEEN GOOD TO ISREAL. YES, THE LORD HAS BEEN TOO GOOD TO US. THROUGH IT ALL, HE HAS MADE US MORE THAN CONQUERORS. EVEN THE BAD THAT WAS MEANT FOR OUR EVIL, HE HAS TURNED IT ROUND FOR OUR GOOD. HE HAS NO PROBLEM, HE IS A GOOD GOD.
The question rather is , what should we render to the Lord for all His goodness towards us? David says “I will fulfil my vows to the Lord in the presence of all His people”. What about you beloved?
Lift up your voice in adoration and begin to bless the name of the Lord. HE HAS BEEN GOOD TO YOU. Thank Him for the broken chains and failed attempts on your life, career and family. But that’s not all. We shall meet in the presence of His people, and fulfil our vows too. See you at church.
