I will say that the Lord is good – Bro. Samuel Dhinakaran
Dear friend, today’s promise verse for you is from Psalm 116:7, which says “Be at rest once more, my soul, for the Lord has been good to you.” What a calming promise of God!
This verse takes us back to that place of rest. Today, we are going to train our souls to be at rest once again. Maybe your soul is so pressured by the things of this world or maybe it is crying in pain feeling so burdened. But, my friend, train your soul! Even in the midst of your loss and pain, train your soul to declare that the Lord is always good. Will you say it with me now with all your heart and with the strength left in you? – “My Lord is good. He has been good to me. He will be good to me.” Your soul will indeed be at rest one more time. This is what is said in Isaiah 26:3, “Lord, You keep him at perfect peace whose mind is stayed upon You and because he trusts in You.” Yes, the Lord loves such a person!
Those who trust God to be good even in the midst of their trials attract His attention and He will be pleased to give His peace to such people. That is how we can experience God’s perfect peace! Today, this divine, perfect peace is coming! When we as a family are burdened to the core with the problems that we face due to the treachery of people, our souls too would cry out to the Lord saying “Why, Lord? Look at our situation. Rise up, Lord.” But after crying out our hearts to the Lord, we will say, “Lord we know You. In a similar situation in the past, You have given us victory. You can do it again. We trust in You, Lord. We hand over all these problems to you.” Soon after this prayer, we will have great peace from God filling us. With that peace, we go forward for that day and do His will. My friend, receive this rest in your soul today, in the name of Jesus and be blessed!
PRAYER: Loving Lord, thank You for speaking to me through Your Word. Lord, thank You for always being faithful throughout my life even though I have failed You several times. You are good God Almighty. You have always been good to me in the past and You are now in the present. And I believe that You will be good to me in the future. Lord, help my soul to find rest in You one more time. As You calmed the raging wind and sea, calm my soul with Your matchless peace and remove everything that is causing stress, grief and sorrow in my life for You are a miracle-working God. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
