From the very first pages of Scripture, God reveals who He is. Each act of creation in Genesis 1—light, land, sea, sky, plants, animals, people—is “good” because it reflects God’s own nature. Because His goodness is the foundation of all He does, we never have to fear God’s intentions toward us. He is not harsh, unpredictable, or selfish. His heart is always for our good. Even His commands are good, flowing from His pure and unchanging nature. When we remember that God is always and only good, we can follow where He leads.

Focus: God is good, and His commands come from His goodness.

Act: Gratitude builds trust in God’s goodness. Thank Him not only for what He has given you but for who He is—the God who is good.

Pray: God, I believe You are good. Please open my eyes to see Your goodness in fresh ways, and let my life be a witness to others that You are the God who is good. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
