It is easy to remember God is good, but it is a little bit harder to remember it is God who is the good in us.  When we forget we begin to puff ourselves up when we have accomplished a good word or a good deed.  God is good and His work in us is good, He must receive all the praise and glory.

God is Good Within

You say God is good, this is true,
But you must also see God is good in you.
Do not despise your small beginnings in Christ.
For a harvest comes from His seed in your life.
Jesus is the one good thing within,|
All praise and glory belongs to Him.
Every effort you take to follow in His steps,
Is a good seed that is not a harvest yet.
So live your life in faith doing the best you know to do.
If profit and praise comes know it is God shining through.
God is good, all the time God is good,
He works within to help you do as you should.
When you heed His promptings you will be,
A light in the dark world for the lost to see.
But when you have success and when others come,
You must be sure to give the honor to God’s Son.
Jesus is your Savior and lover of your soul.
When you yield to Him He will through you overflow.
Love loves to sing praise and within shines bright.
By your attitude and countenance God’s goodness is in plain sight.

Philippians 2:13
For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.

Ephesians 2:10
For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
