He fills my life with good things

The Lord's plan is to fill our lives with good. Sometimes the good things are sweet, sometimes the Lord's plans for us might seem bitter. What if we...

Thank you to Liz’s Goodies for the pictures for this wonderful before & After collage!

He fills my life with good things…

Let all that I am praise the Lord;
with my whole heart, I will praise his holy name.
Let all that I am praise the Lord;
may I never forget the good things he does for me.
He forgives all my sins
and heals all my diseases.
He redeems me from death
and crowns me with love and tender mercies.
He fills my life with good things.
My youth is renewed like the eagle’s!

Psalm 103:1-5, NLT

I met Liz through my friend Tracy who is always talking about her. No wonder. Liz is a homeschool mom who has created a business that serves as a creative outlet, a second income, a ministry to others, and an enrichment for her entire family. Liz is an amazing baker, but Liz’s Goodies is more than a business, it has become a wonderful family project that fills their lives with good things.

The Lord is like that — His plan is to fill our lives with good. Sometimes the good things are sweet, like the delicious pie fillings that Liz added to these empty shells.

Sometimes the Lord’s plans for us do not feel so sweet.  Are there health problems that linger? Is there bitterness in an important relationship? Are you in financial turmoil? Is the job just not working out? Yet, God’s Word says:

He fills my life with good things…

What if we accepted everything from His hand as good? Because He is good and He fills out lives with good, we can trust that everything is working together for our good (Romans 8:28). Jesus came so we could have a “rich and satisfying life” (John 10:10, NLT).

Our greatest need has been met in Jesus — rescue from sin and death — the rest of the worries and cares of this life pale in comparison to that truth. We are an eternal people and nothing on this earth separate us from “the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans 8:38-39, NLT). This knowledge is both rich and satisfying, should we choose to walk in it.

  • Can we trust God that He will bring good from the health problems?
  • Can we trust that God is at work when that relationship isn’t working?
  • Can we be faithful with our finances and trust Him to prosper us during tough times?
  • Can we choose to see the good in the unhappy workplace?

Join me this week — let’s accept all of God’s gifts as good.

Jesus fills my life
