From “Oh, My Goodness” To “Oh, My GODness”

     Lately, more times than I wish to count, I’ve found myself uttering “Oh, my goodness.”   Startled, shocked and, even, dumb founded, it’s been my reaction to so much of today’s world.   “Oh, my goodness”, more times than not, is followed by my questioning “where is our world going?”   To which I recently felt God answer me with “where our world is going” might best be determined by remembering from “where you are coming”.   Immediately, for me, “Oh, my goodness” was replaced by “Oh, my Godness”.

     Though the world is going wrong, us remembering that we come from God is the only way to help change going wrong into becoming right.   The greatest of strength is not triggered from going wrong.   God, rightly, generates from where the most powerful of strength comes to change the world for good.   Our challenge is to replace worry over “where the world is going” with trust that “comes from” God’s Book.   “For everyone who has been born of God overcomes the world.  And this is the victory that has overcome the world — our faith.” 1John 5:4 (ESV)
