Recognizing God's Goodness


When you look back over your life you can see God's Goodness on your life and you know He was working behind the scenes to bless you. 

Seeds of faithfulness from your family line made it easier on you and God never lets a seed go unharvested.

When God , your God, ushers you into the land he promised through your ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob to give you, you're going to walk into large, bustling cities you didn't build, well-furnished houses you didn't buy, come upon wells you didn't dig, vineyards and olive orchards you didn't plant. When you take it all in and settle down, pleased and content, make sure you don't forget how you got there— God brought you out of slavery in Egypt.
Deuteronomy 6:10‭-‬12 MSG

John Osteen's friend Sam Martin always wrote scriptures for John and shared Christ and one day walking hand in hand with John, John gave his life.

You don't have to convict people. Just keep sewing seeds.

"You didn't choose me, remember; I chose you, and put you in the world to bear fruit, fruit that won't spoil. As fruit bearers, whatever you ask the Father in relation to me, he gives you.
John 15:16 MSG

Be faithful in the small things even when it doesn't seem like anything is happening.

For who has despised the day of small things? For these seven rejoice to see The plumb line in the hand of Zerubbabel. They are the eyes of the Lord , Which scan to and fro throughout the whole earth."
Zechariah 4:10 NKJV

Make sure you don't forget God , your God, by not keeping his commandments, his rules and regulations that I command you today. Make sure that when you eat and are satisfied, build pleasant houses and settle in, see your herds and flocks flourish and more and more money come in, watch your standard of living going up and up—make sure you don't become so full of yourself and your things that you forget God , your God, the God who delivered you from Egyptian slavery; the God who led you through that huge and fearsome wilderness, those desolate, arid badlands crawling with fiery snakes and scorpions; the God who gave you water gushing from hard rock; the God who gave you manna to eat in the wilderness, something your ancestors had never heard of, in order to give you a taste of the hard life, to test you so that you would be prepared to live well in the days ahead of you.
Deuteronomy 8:11‭-‬16 MSG

Don't ley the miracle of your life become so common place that you forget where God brought you from. Live in awe and remember what God has done.

King Nebuchadnezzar to everyone, everywhere—every race, color, and creed: "Peace and prosperity to all! It is my privilege to report to you the gracious miracles that the High God has done for me. "His miracles are staggering, his wonders are surprising. His kingdom lasts and lasts, his sovereign rule goes on forever.
Daniel 4:1‭-‬3 MSG

A lot of the time we start out recognizing God's goodness but if we let it become common. 

All this happened to King Nebuchadnezzar. Just twelve months later, he was walking on the balcony of the royal palace in Babylon and boasted, "Look at this, Babylon the great! And I built it all by myself, a royal palace adequate to display my honor and glory!"
Daniel 4:28‭-‬30 MSG

We were not created to contain Glory, we were created to give Glory.

The words were no sooner out of his mouth than a voice out of heaven spoke, "This is the verdict on you, King Nebuchadnezzar: Your kingdom is taken from you. You will be driven out of human company and live with the wild animals. You will eat grass like an ox. The sentence is for seven seasons, enough time to learn that the High God rules human kingdoms and puts whomever he wishes in charge."
Daniel 4:31‭-‬32 MSG

He fed you with manna in the wilderness, a food unknown to your ancestors. He did this to humble you and test you for your own good.
Deuteronomy 8:16 NLT

God is ready to bless you in ways that your parents never saw. Those people who were sewing seeds had no idea what was going to spring up.

man·na
/ˈmanə/

"After this time had passed, I, Nebuchadnezzar, looked up to heaven. My sanity returned, and I praised and worshiped the Most High and honored the one who lives forever. His rule is everlasting, and his kingdom is eternal. All the people of the earth are nothing compared to him. He does as he pleases among the angels of heaven and among the people of the earth. No one can stop him or say to him, 'What do you mean by doing these things?' "When my sanity returned to me, so did my honor and glory and kingdom. My advisers and nobles sought me out, and I was restored as head of my kingdom, with even greater honor than before. "Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and glorify and honor the King of heaven. All his acts are just and true, and he is able to humble the proud."
Daniel 4:34‭-‬37 NLT
