When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of him, and the son of man that you care for him?
Psalm 8:3-4, ESV
Our God is capable of doing anything, having created a vast universe with only His words to demonstrate His power and glory.
Therefore, we have hope that He can save us and give us eternal life, especially as He raised Jesus from the dead.
Oh come, let us worship and bow down; let us kneel before the Lord, our Maker!
Psalm 95:6, ESV
Good deserves or worship, for He is our Lord, Creator, and Savior!
Give Him all praise!
Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise! Give thanks to him; bless his name! For the Lord is good; his steadfast love endures forever, and his faithfulness to all generations.
Psalm 100:4-5, ESV
Our God has done so much for us. He is good and faithful, and He has showered His love on us through Jesus by the Holy Spirit!
We have much to be thankful for.
I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart; I will recount all of your wonderful deeds. I will be glad and exult in you; I will sing praise to your name, O Most High.
Psalm 9:1-2, ESV
Perspectives matter. Yes, there are plenty of bad things in this life. There are also good and beautiful things provided by God, most especially His grace and mercy as found at the cross.
The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
Psalm 27:1, ESV
All truth, including God’s wrath against sin and His mercy and grace, is found and revealed in God. If we are freed from God’s wrath, what else is there to fear?
But I will sing of your strength; I will sing aloud of your steadfast love in the morning. For you have been to me a fortress and a refuge in the day of my distress.

Have mercy on me, O God, according to your steadfast love; according to your abundant mercy blot out my transgressions. Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin!
Psalm 51:1-2, ESV
It is not any inherent goodness or hard work on our part that God shows us His mercy and grace. It is entirely God’s love and works (through Jesus Christ) that we are made clean and found worthy of eternal life.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
Psalm 23:6, ESV
Seeking God is the only way to find true goodness and mercy, and Christ is the only source of eternal life.
He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.
