REFLECTIONS ON THE GOODNESS OF GOD/BIBLICAL PROOFS OF GOD’S GOODNESS 2: MORE BIBLICAL PROOFS.

The Bible tells us that God causes or allows His sun and His rain to shine upon both the good and the evil. You and I know too well that if we had an opportunity, to distribute something to people around us, and we heard about one of those people who happens to be a criminal, there is every tendency, that we may try to punish such a person by denying him that thing or out of resentment, avoid such a person, but God is not like that, as we can see from above.
King David, of ancient Israel, was one man who experienced the goodness of God. We are told, of how God took him from tendering sheep (sheepcote) and made him King over the entire Israel. He alludes to this in Psalm 113 verse7,’He raises the poor out of the dust, and the needy out of the dunghill’, just as it is written in 1Samuel chapter2 and verse 8, He raises up the poor out of the dust, and the beggar out of the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make the inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the LORD’S and he has set the world upon them.’
However, even though God was good to King David, he messed up by killing an innocent man and taking over his wife. The law demanded that king David be condemned to death, i.e. capital punishment, but God showed him mercy, thus the Bible ,especially, the book of Psalms most of which King David wrote is full of: O Give thanks unto the Lord , for He is good and his mercy endures forever!
