Every Christian that I know of beliefs that God is a good God. But how does God’s goodness affect our daily walk with God? How does the goodness of God help us in living the Christian live day in and day out? In this article I am going to show you five blessings that flow out of God’s goodness.

In Exodus Chapter 33 we find Moses in a conversation with God about the entrance of His people into the Promised Land. Moses asked to understand the ways of the Lord. And God’s answer is simply: "My presence will go with you". But for Moses that is not enough at this point. He wants more than words.
So in verse 18: He says: "God show me your glory!"

The Hebrew word that is used here for glory means and is the same word for substance, or weight. What Moses is saying is Lord, I really want to know who and how you really are. What are you made of? What is your substance? I don't just want to know you in general terms; I don't just want to have a vague understanding of you. I don’t just want theology. No, I want to know you for who you really are in all your glory! I want to know you totally and complete!

Do you want to make Moses’ request your own request?
Let's look at God's answer to his request. Verse 19: "I will cause all my goodness to pass in front of you..." Why does God answer in that way? Because that is how and who God really is. He is good! God’s goodness means that he is merciful! He is full of compassion! He is full of joy, peace, wisdom and grace! He is a just a great and good God!

God says Moses you want to know who and how I am? Let me show you my goodness. Goodness is my substance! You see, what is in you drives your actions. God is driven by his goodness!!! He is good and he does good. But God wants not only to show you his goodness, he wants even more that his goodness would become evident in you dally Christian life.

Psalm 106:1: "Give thanks to the Lord for He is good His loving kindness lasts forever.
Ps 119.68: "You are good and kind and do good!"
Just take these verses in. Let them sink in the very depth of you spirit, mind and soul.

To whom does God show his goodness? Let’s look at some more scripture
Ps 145:9 "The Lord is good to all; he has compassion on all he has made." Do you know what the word "all" means? ALL! Good’s goodness is for all his children and that includes you my dear reader!

John 10:10-11: "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I have come that you may have life and have it to the full! I am the GOOD shepherd!
God is good and he does good. Everything that steals, kills and destroys is NOT from God.
• Everything that keeps you from being the mom and dad that you should be is NOT from God.
• Everything that hinders you to be a good friend, a good husband or wife, is NOT from God!
• Everything that detracts your from living an abundant Christian live is NOT from God.

James 1.16-17: "So, my very dear friends don't get thrown off course. Every desirable and beneficial gift comes out of heaven. The gifts are like rivers of light cascading down from the Father of Light. There is nothing deceitful in God, nothing two-faced, nothing fickle. He brought us to life using the true Word, showing us off as the crown of all his creatures." (The Message)
