The Goodness of God

 The Goodness of God

“Have you not put a hedge around him and his household and everything he has? You have blessed the work of his hands…” Job 1:10.

Before Job ever lost anything, Satan acknowledged something powerful: God’s goodness had surrounded Job like a hedge. His life was protected, preserved, and prospered, not by chance, but by divine mercy!

Even when Satan was allowed to test Job, it wasn’t without boundaries!

He couldn’t touch Job’s life without God’s permission!

This reveals a comforting truth: nothing reaches us without first passing through God’s mercy and measured wisdom.

God’s goodness doesn’t mean life will be free of trials, but it does mean those trials are never random. They are filtered through His love.

If He allows it, He equips you for it.

The enemy’s power is limited. God’s mercy is not.

His hedge may not always look like protection from pain, but it is always rooted in purpose.

Are you in a season of testing? Remember, God is not absent. He is watching, strengthening, and sustaining you. If He has allowed it, He will certainly you through it.

Lord, thank You for the hedge of mercy around my life. Even when trials come, help me trust that Your goodness still surrounds me. Strengthen me to stand, knowing You have already measured what I can bear. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
