Show Notes

In this 10:10 Thrive devotional, we explored the contemporary worship anthem “Goodness of God,” a song that has quickly become a beloved declaration of faith in God’s constant, unfailing goodness. The hymn invites believers to reflect on the faithfulness of God in every season, proclaiming His kindness and provision as a steady anchor in an ever-changing world. Its accessible melody and honest testimony resonate deeply, leading worshipers to gratitude, trust, and a posture of lifelong praise.

While the hymn directly celebrates the goodness of God the Father, it also deepens our understanding of Jesus as the living embodiment of that goodness. The song’s vivid language of God’s goodness “chasing” and “following” us finds its clearest expression in Jesus’ earthly ministry—His healing, feeding, forgiving, teaching, and ultimately His sacrificial death and resurrection. Jesus is not merely a messenger about God’s goodness; He is the visible, tangible, and active pursuit of God’s love for each of us, demonstrating divine faithfulness through His presence and redemptive work.

Finally, “Goodness of God” fosters a response of worship, surrender, and trust in Jesus, who is the channel of God’s goodness into our lives. By recognizing Jesus as the one who secures our salvation, guides our steps, and remains with us from morning until night, we are led to a deeper, personal reliance on Him as the source of our hope and the assurance of God’s eternal faithfulness. This hymn thus moves us beyond viewing God’s goodness as an abstract idea to experiencing it intimately through Jesus, calling us to testify with our lives and sing, “I will sing of the goodness of God.”
