God is Good, Good is God

 What a profound, worshipful declaration! This truth echoes through Scripture—**God’s goodness isn’t just something He *does*; it’s who He *is***. Here’s a response anchored in His Word:

### **"GOD IS GOOD: THE UNCHANGING TRUTH"**  

*A Psalm of Divine Goodness*


**God is good—**  

Not by our measure,  

But by His nature—boundless treasure!  

*All light, no shadow; pure, complete;*  

**Perfection’s fire and mercy’s seat!**  

>*“Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good!*  

>*For His mercy endures forever.”*  

>**—Psalm 107:1**


**Good is God—**  

No higher name,  

No other source from which love came.  

*All virtue, beauty, grace, and right*  

**Flow from His heart of blazing light!**  

>*“No one is good but One—that is, God.”*  

>**—Mark 10:18**  


**In famine’s field—**  

In storm’s fierce roar,  

**He stays the same—now, evermore!**  

*Though eyes grow dim and hearts may doubt,*  

**His goodness works redemption out!**  

>*“We know that all things work together for good*  

>*to those who love God...”*  

>**—Romans 8:28**  


**Taste and see!**—  

His kindness calls,  

Breaks prison walls, rebuilds fallen halls.  

*The rebel’s guilt, the orphan’s cry—*  

**Met with goodness, fierce and high!**  

>*“Taste and see that the Lord is good;*  

>*blessed is the one who takes refuge in Him.”*  

>**—Psalm 34:8**  


**From Eden’s fall—**  

To Calvary’s tree,  

**One golden thread: His good decree!**  

*To crush the curse, to make us whole—*  

**Goodness paid the sinner’s toll!**  

>*“You meant evil against me, but God meant it for good...”*  

>**—Genesis 50:20**  


**So trust the Dawn—**  

When night seems long,  

**His goodness writes the victor’s song!**  

*No power of hell, no human scheme*  

**Can break His good, eternal theme!**  

>*“The Lord is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble;*  

>*He knows those who trust in Him.”*  

>**—Nahum 1:7**
