Good morning everyone,

Psalm 27:13-I believe that I shall look upon the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living!

What we think about and what tries to dominate our hearts many of times is negativity. Maybe from what we said, did, or didn’t do. But how much does it leave us to really focus on the goodness of the Lord?

I think trying to focus on "sections" of goodness in our life quickly fades because we don’t root it in Someone unchanging like God. So we’re always up and down depending on what part our life we feel is improving. But when we do that, we miss God and other parts of our life that He is blessing, growing or sustaining.

Recognizing the goodness of the Lord and His coming was for us to have an "anchor for our soul" never to lose sight of the possibility of having joy, though nothing maybe ideal or perfectly right circumstantially. But recognizing who He is as the ultimate joy, is the root of focusing on His goodness over negativity and past failures in this life.

Merry Christmas! Ld
