Day 84 with David: God is great AND God is good.

“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 good would awesomeness be, if it weren’t accompanied by goodness? 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.

I watched with astonishment as I recently saw some of the speaker’s statements from the most recent gathering of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. Now, don’t let that name fool you. You have only to listen to a small cross section of their deliberations to see that their goal is a New World Order that—oh, by the way—they will determine and rule. Honestly, they don’t even try to hide their intentions anymore. They speak of ordinary people as some sort of “other” who needs to be directed by “greater” minds: theirs. I heard one woman smugly saying 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 world domination. She says this is needed because we are “misusing” our rights; and it’s dangerous. Now, frankly, I would say that our freedoms ARE being misused, it’s obvious, but not “misused” according to the way they think! 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, and basically, their Godless reset of humanity. Indeed, their agenda is ultimately evil in terms of its application.

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!

Our portion from Psalms today 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. David extols the greatness of God while also describing the Lord’s goodness. Now, that’s what I call the complete package: 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 do the ultimate reset!

For today let us know and understand what David knew:

God is great AND God is good!
