God’s Goodness Is Before Us
Today’s Bible Verse:
Psalm 119:68 ESV
You are good and do good; teach me your statutes.
God is good. He shows His goodness through His grace, mercy, and love towards us daily. All that we need to sustain our lives He gives. His Holy Spirit builds and sustains the faith we have in our Lord Jesus Christ. We live with the cross of Jesus before us. God is good. The Psalmist writes that He sees and knows God’s goodness and wants Him to teach His statutes that proclaim His grace, mercy, and love to the masses. This is our prayer, also.

Apostles’ Creed:
I believe in God, the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth.
And in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried. He descended into hell. The third day He rose again from the dead. He ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty. From thence He will come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Christian Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.
The Lord’s Prayer:
Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name, Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven; give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever and ever. Amen.
