A Vessel of Goodness

When you get good at setting the atmosphere, you begin to recognize sweet or sour atmospheres really quickly. It’s amazing to me where goodness will show up. It might surprise you, but goodness likes to turn up in a mess. It actually thrives in chaos! Why? Because goodness always opposes evil. Evil is overcome by goodness because goodness wants to advance.

Goodness doesn’t tolerate evil. Evil slinks back into the hole it crawled out of when goodness shows up. Just like light is superior to darkness, goodness is far superior to evil. When goodness shows up and tears darkness apart, it tends to be messy.

“And God saw light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.” Genesis 1:4

God is in the addition and multiplication business. But when it comes to confronting darkness with light, He drops His supernatural math into the division business. God moves darkness out of the way and displaces it with the goodness of light. BOOM!

Consequently, there is a lot of confrontation with goodness showing up. There tends to be a lot of yelling and slanderous accusations thrown at goodness because division tends to be messy. Show up with goodness anyway! Jesus can handle the mess.
