A GREATER GOODNESS
And the hand of the Lord was with them,
and a great number believed and turned to the Lord. Acts 11:21 NKJV
God warns us and tries really hard to convince us that we have our hands on the steering wheel of our own hearts. There is a choice. We don’t have to love bad. We can love God. When we do, we learn to love goodness because we see how incredibly good goodness really is. We can actually choose what we love and how we love if we are willing to have a higher value for one thing over the other.
God warns us not to get into “evil imaginations” in Romans 1:30, mostly because we are good at it. We can develop huge skill sets for advancing evil and inventing new evil right between our two ears. All that stuff ends up in the place designed to capture and hold evil.
We don’t want to be carried off into a landslide headed for hell. God says this not because if we don’t avoid evil, it’s so big and horrible it’s going to get us. God says this because evil had us before we were even born! He says this because He wants us to develop skill sets to get past it, advance His kingdom, and overcome evil with good.
Good is much greater! Why should we be impressed with something inferior?
It was actually our rebellion against God that caused us to fall in love with evil and turn all our power over to it. It’s why we got so hurt by evil.
For whoever finds me finds life, and obtains favor from the Lord; But he who sins against me wrongs his own soul; All those who hate me love death. Proverbs 8:35-36 ESV
When we fall in love with God, we begin to lose our childish infatuation with evil. We learn to turn a cold shoulder to our romantic notions of darkness and discover the true adventure of falling in love with God’s goodness. Falling in love with Jesus is always the answer.
Declaration: The Lord has the best plan of all for me. I submit my life to Him and let Him lead me down the best paths. His Spirit made manifest in my life allows me to understand what goodness really is. I will rejoice in goodness all day long today.
