"The Lord is good to all...." (Psalm 145:9a, KJV)
Regardless of life's lies, "The Lord Jesus Christ is good to all," everyone, everybody.
It's that time of the month for my "favorite" praise Psalm. I recall "discovering" it when I was about 22 or 23 years of age, a long time ago. I remember thinking that I could not have expressed worship/praise any better than David. It is a true "portrait" of our Father, our Shepherd Jesus, and Holy Spirit, "....good to all."
Psalm 145 is the truth about the Living Triune God. Anyone who tells humanity anything about God other than Psalm 145 is a liar. Everything from the universities, the philosophers, whether famous or water cooler, the humanists, the Darwinists, the Big Bang people, everyone everywhere who does not affirm and live by Psalm 145 is living, "the lie."
Consider: "The Lord is gracious, and full of compassion; slow to anger, and of great mercy. The Lord is good to all (yes, even you): and his tender mercies are over all his works....The Lord upholds all that fall, and raises up all those that be bowed down....You open Your hand; You satisfy the desire of every living thing.... The Lord is near to all who call on Him, to all who call on Him in truth. He fulfills the desire of those who fear him; He also hears their cry and saves them."
(From the KJV & ESV) This is what David said about God. This is what the Holy Spirit revealed to David. This is Truth of Him Who Is Truth, even Jesus the Christ.
The Enemy will always attempt to get people to look at "unanswered prayers," the sicknesses, the suffering, the heartaches, the shattered dreams. Jesus, on the other hand, will always and forever keep telling you and me what Psalm 145 declares, "the Lord is good to all," yes He is, yes He is. One more confirmation: THE CROSS.
Father, in Jesus' Name, I confess that through all my life You have shown me that You are, "good to all." Amen.
