goodness of God

I love God because He listened to me, listened as I begged for mercy. He listened so intently as I laid out my case before Him. Death stared me in the face, hell was hard on my heels. Up against it, I didn’t know which way to turn; then I called out to God for help: “Please, God!” I cried out. “Save my life!” God is gracious—it is He who makes things right, our most compassionate God. God takes the side of the helpless; when I was at the end of my rope, He saved me.

- Psalm 116:1-4 (MSG)

 

I think it's fair to say that we've all felt like we're talking to a wall at some point in our lives.

Whether as kids trying to explain our point of view to our parents, as parents trying to guide our children, or even at work when defending our opinions, sometimes it feels like our words mean nothing. 

But God hears us.

He listens.

We are never talking to a wall when we bring everything to God.

In 2019 Bethel Music released Goodness of God, check out the lyrics:
I love You, Lord

For Your mercy never fails me

All my days, I've been held in Your hands

From the moment that I wake up

Until I lay my head

Oh, I will sing of the goodness of God

And all my life You have been faithful

And all my life You have been so, so good

With every breath that I am able

Oh, I will sing of the goodness of God

I love Your voice

You have led me through the fire

In the darkest night

You are close like no other

I've known You as a Father

I've known You as a Friend

And I have lived in the goodness of God

And all my life You have been faithful

And all my life You have been so, so good

With every breath that I am able

Oh, I will sing of the goodness of God

'Cause Your goodness is running after, it's running after me

Your goodness is running after, it's running after me

With my life laid down, I'm surrendered now

I give You everything

'Cause Your goodness is running after, it's running after me

How fortunate are we that God is always there when we need Him?
