The Goodness of God

Mar13

I said to the Lord, “You are my Lord; I have no good besides You.”
Psalms 16:2 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.16.2.NASB1995

How much effort do you give to your relationship with Jesus? Is He your #1 desire?  The strength of your heart? Do you long for the nearness of God? Does your walk with the Lord make you want to share the goodness of God with others? Are you clothed in the righteousness of Christ and living out your faith before others?

More than that, I count all things to be loss in view of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them but rubbish so that I may gain Christ, and may be found in Him, not having a righteousness of my own derived from the Law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which comes from God on the basis of faith,
Philippians 3:8-9 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/php.3.8-9.NASB1995

How valuable is your relationship with Jesus to you?

🌹I said to the Lord, “You are my Lord; I have no good besides You.”

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; Fools despise wisdom and instruction.
