100 Days with David 2025 Day 84: God is great AND God is good.

100 “Sing to God, sing praises to His name; Extol Him who rides on the clouds, By His name Yah, And rejoice before Him. A father of the fatherless, a defender of widows, Is God in His holy habitation. God sets the solitary in families; He brings out those who are bound into prosperity; But the rebellious dwell in a dry land.”

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭68:4-6‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

As a child, I learned this prayer to say before meals:

“God is great; God is good;

Let us thank Him for our food. By His hands, we are fed;

Give us Lord our daily bread.

Amen”

It’s a short, simple, prayer; but it has powerful truth we all would do well to appreciate.

To me, the most powerful statement is said first: “God is great; God is good.” Yes, our God is an awesome God. But what benefit would His awesomeness be to us, if it weren’t accompanied by His goodness toward us? Thankfully, that will never be an issue for us, as God’s greatness, is inextricably connected to His goodness.

Sadly, the greatness and goodness combination is not that common among mere mortals. Indeed, many actually seek their idea of greatness to the detriment of goodness. However, a true Christian should view righteousness (God’s idea of goodness), as a necessary requisite for greatness.

I watched with astonishment as I recently saw some of the speakers’ statements from a gathering of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. You need only to listen to a small cross section of their deliberations to see that their goal is a New World Order, created and ruled by them!

Honestly, they don’t even try to hide their intentions anymore. They speak of ordinary people as some sort of lesser “other” who needs to be directed by their “greater” minds.

I heard one woman smugly declare that we need to “rethink” or “redefine” human rights. You know the ones: free speech, autonomy, yes, probably religion, anything that would stand between these folks and their musings of world domination. She says this is warranted because we are “misusing” our rights; and it’s dangerous. Now, frankly, I would say that our freedoms ARE being misused. But not “misused” according to their way of thinking!

You see, their concept of freedoms being “misused” is when anyone expresses opinions different from their own. That would basically include anyone who disagreed with their climate agenda, their “health” agenda, indeed, their Godless reset of humanity.

It really is amazing to see the level of arrogance these people demonstrate. You can clearly see that they are very rich, and yes, powerful, but, THEY ARE NOT GOOD!

Today’s portion from David’s psalms, is taken from a Psalm said to have been written for the moving of the Ark of the Covenant from the House of Obed-Edom, to a tent David had erected for it in the Holy City. Here, David extols the greatness of God while also describing the Lord’s goodness. Yes, He is great AND He is good, and those two attributes work in perfect harmony to make our Lord the only One Who can, and will, finish the ultimate reset began through Jesus’ life, death and resurrection, by His returning to set up His eternal Kingdom. Now that’s a reset I can celebrate!

For today let us know and understand what David knew:

God is great AND God is good!

Peace to you.

Jesus is coming! Get ready for Him!
