When you think about the goodness of the Lord, all we should be saying is, "Lord, I thank You!"
We all need to be shouting right now, to the top of our lungs, "Lord, I thank You!" Well, some of you may be way too bougie, unwilling, or closed off to say, "Lord, I thank You." Some of you may not think you have experienced the goodness of the Lord. You might not have realized it was Him who woke you up this morning, or it was Him who covered you during the night. You may not realize it was Him who protected you or your children in the streets. You may not realize it was Him in the operating room, that it was Him moving cancer from the images, and the reason your diagnosis changed to we don't see anything. You may not realize that you did not qualify for the house/car, but God stamped the approval so you can get it. You may not realize your background wouldn't allow you to get the job, but God moved through the person to give you a chance. You may not realize you should have been fired twenty years ago, but God kept you employed for the sake of your family needing stability. But it was all because of the goodness of the Lord! When you realize it is because of the goodness of the Lord, your soul will cry out, "Yes, Lord, I thank you!"
If any of these things happened to you, then say, "Lord, I thank You!
