Exodus 34:6 says: “And the Lord passed by before him, and proclaimed, The Lord, The Lord God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth…”
In what ways can you do these in your daily walk with God and with your neighbor: Abundant in Goodness.
Abundant doesn’t mean just a little bit. Not just enough to give someone a little bit of goodness, not just a little pinch of goodness or a little dose. Rather to give them more than enough, that they feel they have been given a generous tremendous amount of goodness. It’s being consistently abundant in goodness, even when it’s not easy or convenient. Maybe especially when it’s not easy or convenient.
Can you think of some people who have been abundant in goodness to you? What did they do? How did that make you feel?
You can be abundant in goodness in many ways. You can have the attitude of abundant goodness to your family. You can speak words which are abundant in goodness. You can do acts, large and small (especially small), which are abundant in goodness.
If your attitudes and actions have not been abundant in goodness, ask God to forgive you. Ask Him to give you wisdom, patience, strength, calmness, to be abundant in goodness.
The more you practice, the more you can be abundant in goodness. Honor God. God will greatly reward your practice.
