“How great is the goodness you have stored up for those who fear you. You lavish it on those who come to you for protection, blessing them before the watching world.”
Psalms 31:19 NLT
During my time of preparation in prayer this morning I felt a strong urge to begin to search out, discover and draw forth the goodness of God from the people and places I visit.
What if God gave you the power to see, speak forth and draw out the characteristics in all types of people that resemble the Father whether they are saved or not? My grandfather used to say that no matter who you are dealing with everyone has at least one good thing about them. What if you could call that goodness to the forefront? What would change in them after hearing such words?
As I set my prayer focus on the places our family will visit in this upcoming year the Lord has established a special plan in my heart. I will not travel to these destinations in order to fight with the powers of darkness but instead seeing the glory and I will call forth the light!
“The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness can never extinguish it.”
John 1:5 NLT
I pray that you the reader would seek the goodness of God in people and places around you this week. I pray that you would celebrate the goodness you find kindling the light of God invested there.
