The Goodness of God

...The goodness of God endures continually.
Psalm 52:1

I really needed a spiritual boost this week. I found myself desperately searching within myself to praise Him. Normally gratitude isn't a big deal for me. For God has been oh so good to me, but when you hit certain bumps in the road, you have a hard time getting going again.

So I went to the botanical gardens. Taking in all the spring flowers brought much needed worship and delight to my soul. I can't help but worship God, when I see His creation in such splendor. As the sun was shining on just the tips of the flowers, it seems almost magical to me. His array of flowers amaze me. And to think that not only does He give us tulips, crocuses, daffodil, roses, irises, sunflowers... but He give us so many different types, colors, and in such abundance. Just the sheer multitude of tulips almost brought me to tears. For if He gives us flowers in abundance that are here today and gone tomorrow how much more Yet His mercy, love, forgiveness, and grace are the things that are will endure forever. All this, brought me back to Him, knowing that He is good, all the time.

May you be encouraged today by His love and mercy.
