RESTORATION TODAY
TUESDAY 4TH APRIL 2017
BY PASTOR DR. G.O. OLUTOLA JP.
THEME: THE GOOD LIFE.
The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy. Psalm 103: 8.
Our definition of the good life would probably include material success, good health, and the absence of trouble things that make us happy right now. But God has an eternal perspective, and He always works to fulfil His long-term plan for us. We can trust in His goodness, even in dark times.
FIRST, God's character is perfect, and everything He does is right (Deuteronomy 32: 4). He is merciful and gracious and plenteous in mercy. (Psalm 103: 8). By His very nature, God is good.
SECOND, our heavenly Father expresses His goodness based on His purpose of conforming us to the image of Christ (Romans 8: 29).
From the Lord's perspective, everything that fits into His plan is beneficial for us. The greatest demonstration of our Father's goodness is seen in His Son?s life and death. Jesus left His heavenly home, took on the form of man, suffered, and died in our place so we might be forgiven (Philippians 2: 6 - 8). Because of what our Saviour endured, we who have trusted in Him are adopted into God?s family, and heaven is our eternal home.
At the time of Christ's crucifixion, the disciples could not see anything beneficial in it. They knew only great sorrow. But we understand that God gave His own Son so that He might accomplish our salvation (Romans 8: 32).
ACTION POINTS
God doesn?t see things the way we do, but His thoughts for us are always good.

Romans 8: 29, 32
