Living
in the Goodness of God

Hope
Is Anticipating God's Goodness

By Rick Warren — February 26,
2019

"I would have despaired unless I had
believed that I would see the goodness of the LORD in the
land of the living. Wait for the LORD;
Be strong and let your heart take courage; Yes, wait for the
LORD" (Psalm 27:13-14 NASB).
God has only good plans for your life. He does not have
bad plans for you—he never has and he never will. Yet a
lot of people miss God's plan
for their lives because they don't trust God. Instead,
they decide to follow their own plan, and in the end, that
leads to hopelessness and
pessimism.
The more you understand God's goodness, the more
hopeful you're going to be because hope is
anticipating God's goodness. The only
reason you have hope is because God is good. If God is not a
good God, there is no rational reason for
hope.
"I would have despaired unless I had believed that
I'd see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the
living. Wait for the Lord; Be strong
and let your heart take courage; Yes, wait for the Lord"
(Psalm 27:13-14 NASB).
Everything God does for you, through you, to you, and in
you, he does because he is a good God. God's goodness in
your life isn't based on how
good you are. It's based on God's character, not
yours.
Everybody needs God's goodness. Everybody wants God's
goodness. But we have to understand and believe it to
experience it. In his goodness, he
blesses us with sustenance and balance, resilience and
guidance, confidence and assurance, influence and abundance,
benevolence and inheritance. He
makes it all available to his children because of his grace
and his good character.PLAY
today's audio teaching from Pastor Rick >>
Talk
About It

Why is it freeing to acknowledge that God's goodness
is based on his character and not yours?
What can you do while you are waiting on God to deliver
you from a difficult season? How can you gain courage as you
trust God during these
times?
How can you learn about and understand God's goodness
more?
