One of the best things about the saints is that when we’re tempted to doubt or accuse God in our suffering, they’re often quick to point out that “the Lord is good.” And so He is. What a blessing that the saints point us back in the right direction!

Why is He good? Well, many reasons I guess we all might say. We can take refuge in Him, His lovingkindness and faithfulness is everlasting, His mercies are over all His works, we may seek and wait for him, He is a stronghold in trouble.

And His word proclaims this eternal truth forever etched in the universe:

O taste and see that the Lord is good; how blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him! Psalm 34:8

For the Lord is good; His lovingkindness is everlasting, and His faithfulness to all generations. Psalm 100:5

Praise the Lord, for the Lord is good; Sing praises to His name, for it is lovely. Psalm 135:3

The Lord is good to all, and His mercies are over all His works. Psalm 145:9

The Lord is good to those who wait for Him, to the person who seeks Him. Lament. 3:25

The Lord is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble, and He knows those who take refuge in Him. Nahum 1:7

“Father, indeed, You are good! Very good. Help us to never doubt nor forsake your good-ness to us and Your creation. We stand in awe of Your kindness to all. Be blessed today…”

When we think of the saying that God is a consuming fire, what comes to mind? Is it a safe vision, one of comfort and peace? I used to think it was. Until the Spirit gave revelation.

“So watch yourselves, that you do not forget the covenant of the Lord your God which He made with you, and make for yourselves a graven image in the form of anything against which the Lord your God has commanded you. For the Lord your God is a CONSUMING FIRE, a jealous God. Deut. 4:23-24

From the Lord of hosts you will be punished with thunder and earthquake and loud noise, with whirlwind and tempest and the flame of a CONSUMING FIRE. Isaiah 29:6

And the Lord will cause His voice of authority to be heard, and the descending of His arm to be seen in fierce anger, and in the flame of a CONSUMING FIRE; Isaiah 30:30

Sinners in Zion are terrified; Trembling has seized the godless. “Who among us can live with the CONSUMING FIRE? Who among us can live with continual burning?” Isaiah 33:14

See to it that you do not refuse Him who is speaking. For if those did not escape when they refused him who warned them on earth, much less will we escape who turn away from Him who warns from heaven. And His voice shook the earth then, but now He has promised, saying, “Yet once more I will shake not only the earth, but also the heaven.” This expression, “Yet once more,” denotes the removing of those things which can be shaken, as of created things, so that those things which cannot be shaken may remain. Therefore, since we receive a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us show gratitude, by which we may offer to God an acceptable service with reverence and awe; for our God is a CONSUMING FIRE. Hebrews 12:25-29

“My Lord, help us to see Your true identity, Your whole personality. Let me and my brethren not fall into the modern trap of having a spiritual identity crisis and making a God in our own  image.”
