A Drop from the Ocean

God is the ocean from which all goodness flows.

Written by Jacob Crouch | Wednesday, August 28, 2024

All goodness that has ever existed among angels and men has all come from the same source. And the whole is so much greater than the sum. Add all of the goodness together from all time, from all men, from the whole globe, and what you get is just a drop from the ocean that is God. 

 

Have you ever seen a good dad? Maybe you had one. Hopefully, dads, you are one. Have you ever seen those godly characteristics of a good dad really shine? Maybe some extreme compassion for a little one, or a wise word spoken to strengthen and encourage. Maybe you’ve seen godly discipline and correction. When we see this, we are encouraged and marvel at God’s work.

Have you ever seen a good husband? A man who lives in an understanding way with his wife and truly loves his bride. Maybe you’ve heard him speak highly of his wife and really value his wife. He doesn’t follow the world and think of her as a “ball and chain,” but rather he rises up and calls her blessed. The wife feels safe and treasured. When you see this, you marvel at God’s work.
