Even from the beginning.

God is good!

Many times, people don’t realize how good something is, especially when it looks or works just as it was made to work. It’s easy to identify a faulty machine or tool though: it obviously doesn’t work.

It is difficult too sometimes to identify someone who does a good job, especially when there aren’t other people doing the same job. Things run smoothly and it looks so easy that people barely notice a job was done. It just feels like things occurred naturally.

When God made the world He did a good job, but there was no one to notice how good a job He did – no humans at least.

However, the writer of Genesis records that

“The earth produced vegetation: plants bearing seeds, each according to its own type, and trees bearing fruit with seeds, each according to its own type.”

This statement looks so normal or ordinary that we barely notice how significant it is.

Computer programmers would know better; it’s almost impossible to write code and get it to work without a single bug!

But God did it. And He was there Himself to notice that “it was good!”

God’s goodness goes beyond kindness and benevolence. God is good, because He is excellent. He is competent enough to be God!

God is good; you can’t call Him the best though, because no one else even comes close.

God is so good, we barely notice.

It’s been a really long time since creation, and The earth [still] produces vegetation: plants bearing seeds, each according to its own type, and trees bearing fruit with seeds, each according to its own type…

Today I said to myself that, apart from what I have read about God, or heard people say about Him; I have experienced the goodness of God.

God is good. I am evidence, and so are you.
