Focus on God’s Goodness-The Throne of God

JOHN SHIRK – Today’s Focus on God’s Goodness is found in Hebrews 1, verses 8 and 9.

About the Son, God says, ‘Your throne, O God, will last forever and ever; a scepter of justice will be the scepter of your kingdom. You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; therefore God, your God, has set you above your companions by anointing you with the oil of joy.”

What a blessing to have the king of heaven reigning as the king of our heart! He establishes His righteousness in us and uproots wickedness. He brings us into the kingdom of God where there is joy and fellowship. He gives us a place of service, where we can honor His name by helping people in their time of need. The throne of God is also secure for the child of God. His kingdom will never end. Hebrews 12:28 says, “Since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe.”

The Throne of God reveals the goodness of God and is a reason to give thanks in the Year of Gratitude.
