The Goodness of God: A Call to Trust and Surrender 0:01 I think a lot of you believe that God loves you, but I don't think many of you think he really likes you. The fact of the matter is is we can intellectually believe that God loves us, but not have a sense that0:13 he's for us. You wanna experience the goodness of God? Stay with me.0:22 Thanks for listening to this edition of Living on the Edge with Chip Ingram. We are an international teaching and discipleship ministry that encourages and equips Christians to live like Christians. Well, have you ever0:34 felt like God is disappointed in you or he's eagerly waiting for you to mess up so he can punish you? Well, today, Chip utterly spells that myth as he continues his series, The Real God. There's a0:46 lot to get to, so let's join Chip for part 2 of his talk, The Goodness of God. If you have a Bible, he'll be back in Psalm chapter 84.0:55 How has God revealed his goodness? It's 1 thing. I can tell you if you actually come to believe that from your head down to your heart, obedience will be1:07 completely different. Trusting him becomes completely different. The fear of the future will always always have some, it'll begin to dissipate. Because if God has your best and he's sovereign and he's control and he's1:18 an all wise God and he's for you and he's leaning forward on the throne to bless your life and to help you and give you the very best, well then, whatever he says is the Well, that's what I wanna1:30 do. Now by the way, it doesn't mean that you don't have some emotional fear, doesn't mean the front end might be really hard but it means that you trust his promises because he's a good God. He's revealed it to us in 31:42 ways and let me encourage you to to let these ways sink in and begin to practice them in a new way because you gotta do some things to move I believe God's good to hear. First1:54 it's through natural blessings. Psalm 1 45 7 through 9 says, they celebrate your abundant goodness and joyfully sing of your righteousness. The Lord is2:06 gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and rich in love. The Lord is good to all. He has compassion on all he's made.2:18 Does the all include you? He's good to all. This this little phrase is repeated all through the old testament. He's gracious,2:30 compassionate, abounding, multiplying, exponentially available, loving kindness. The word is hesed. It's a steadfast, loyal, commitment2:43 love to give you the best. That's God That's how God is with his creation. Later in the same Psalm verse 16 says, You open your hand and satisfy2:55 the desires of every living thing. The Lord is righteous in all his ways and faithful in all that he does. And here's what I'd say is pause to look around. We get3:06 so busy, so focused. Just observe people. Observe people at a restaurant. Observe people walking on the streets now. The whole world does this. A family sitting together3:18 in a restaurant. There's 4 phones out. When's the last time when No. I'm serious. When's the last time you saw a sunset? You. When's the last time you saw a sunrise?3:32 When's the last time you I'm gonna take a walk and God has displayed his goodness and his glory? When's the last time you took a walk in nature? When's the last time you said, I don't need to be in a hurry?3:44 When's the last time in in the traffic and the hustle and the bustle instead of let's see if I I go here, I go here, if I get off this ramp then I get over here then I cut across here, gosh, I'm gonna save 2 minutes and3:53 add all this stress to my life. That you said, maybe I'll just get in a slow lane and put on a song about the glory of God and realize all these other crazy people that are commuting, I just not gonna be a part of4:05 that. When's the last time you went to a park or even the mall at 1 of the little playgrounds and you just sat down and you watch kids play4:18 and this the innocence. They're not worried. They're not stressful. They're not going, I wonder what I'll wear tomorrow or I wonder if there's gonna be any food tonight or4:29 you know I wonder what profession I'm gonna have when I grow up they're just having fun. When's the last time you remembered and you just held a brand new baby in your arms and just thought4:42 this is miraculous this is amazing where I live I can drive about 30 minutes and just park in front of the ocean and just kind of watch those waves come4:53 in watch the waves come in There's something good about being small sometimes. You're just 1 little person. I'm just 1 little person. You're so5:05 valuable on the 1 hand, and take this the right way. You're not all that important. You know? And yet, left to myself, I can start to feel5:17 like the whole world is dependent on me and every decision and every issue and all this. If you don't bask in the goodness of God in the natural surroundings, then you5:29 unconsciously, we will become the center and the focus and you'll believe life is about pressure and productivity and getting things done and what and and and there's a place for that but the place for that is5:40 it's Tozer's great words. It's living under a sky that's friendly and knowing that this God though exalted in majesty and power is eager to be friends with you.5:53 That you even even for some of you, if you're like me, we are so productive oriented. If I'm not praying and talking and interceding, it's like when I'm even when I'm with God, I gotta get something done.6:05 Anybody like that? Have you have you ever just been listening to a song or this morning I was I put Chris Tomlin on just various songs and a couple came up that my my son6:17 wrote that song. Like my son wrote that song and I just thought I got to adopt that boy. And that kid was we went through. It was like oh God.6:29 David says this 1 thing I will do that I will seek to behold the beauty of the Lord. Literally the word is the delightfulness to6:41 meditate in his temple. That there's part of the goodness of God you just have to stop and I wrote a couple things down here. I wrote for health, for food, for love, for people, for beauty, for life, for6:52 air, for opportunity, for the talents, for the education that you have, for the opportunities God's given you, that you live in this country. 1 of the things I do I I7:04 lose perspective often. I I seem to be have a lot of issues but I think God uses my issues because when I share them, it seems like you guys have them too which makes me feel really better. This was a7:16 Friday night about 3 weeks ago and it was 9 PM and I wrote my journal. I rarely if ever write at night but I'm much at peace and very very thankful. After another very intense week and 2 nights with just a few hours7:28 sleep, the Lord my shepherd had me lie down in green pastures and he restored my soul. I restored all my work, my sermon outlines done, I interviewed a new CFO candidate who I think is the right 1.7:40 I met with a fellow pastor Steve and it was such encouraging to share at a very deep level. I laid out all my issues in his wise counsel. I went and swam and did my workout and didn't count the7:52 laps but tried to enjoy the process. My son Ryan just dropped by to pick up his kids and came to my office. We had a blast. He asked me how I was doing and how my8:04 back was and I shared pretty honestly. He started to tear up. I thought to have a son with that kind of compassion. I fell asleep and had his boys over that night.8:16 They slept at the bottom of the bed. My grandson fell asleep in my arms. God thank you thank you. Those are little things but God8:27 reveals his goodness through natural blessings. The second way he reveals his goodness is through deliverances. I'm gonna ask you to turn to Psalm 1 0 7. It's a very long Psalm. I I want you to8:39 study it, but I'm gonna give you the structure of the Psalm. It is the classic passage on the goodness of God in the Old Testament. The Psalm will open with a call to honor God's goodness and then what you're gonna see8:51 are there are 4 specific vignettes. And and the the author is gonna say vignette number 1, vignette number 2, vignette number 3, vignette number 4. In each 1 of these vignettes, people9:02 find themselves in an impossible situation. They're desperate. In 3 of the 4, they're in an impossible situation because of their own doing, their own sin. In the fourth 1, God sovereignly seems to be9:14 working to some sailors. After So there's a vignette, talks about a situation, it's really bad, it's impossible. Then the process and each 1 is the same. They cry out to the Lord in the midst of their9:26 desperation, in the midst of their trouble and then God delivers, delivers, delivers. And then there's a repeating phrase that says, let them give thanks to the Lord for he is good. And then it9:38 then vignette vignette. It's really powerful. Have you got it? Psalm 1 0 7. Look at verses 1 and 2. He says, Oh, give thanks to the Lord for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever. Let the redeemed9:50 of the Lord say so whom he has redeemed from trouble. Now he's going to give 4 pictures of trouble. Look at verse 4. Some wandered in the desert ways finding no way to a city to dwell in. Hungry and thirsty, their10:02 souls fainted within them. They cried to the Lord in their trouble. He delivered them from their distress. He led them by the straight way till they reached the city to dwell in. Let them give thanks to the Lord for his10:11 steadfast love, for his wondrous work to the children of men, for he satisfies the longing of the soul, the hungry soul he fills with goodness. Vignette number 2, some sat in darkness and shadow of death, prisoners and10:23 affliction in irons, for they rebelled against the word of the Lord and he spurned the council of the most high. So he bowed their heads with hard labor and they fell with none to help them. They cried to the Lord in10:34 their trouble. He delivered them from their distress. He brought them out of darkness and out of the shadow of death and he burst their bonds. Let them give thanks to the Lord for his steadfast love. Because wondrous10:43 works for the children of men. He shatters the doors of bronze, talking about breaking through judgment. 17, some were fools through sinful ways and because of their iniquities, affliction and we'll find out it10:55 becomes physical affliction. He delivers them. Verse 21, let them give thanks to the Lord for his wondrous works. Skipping down to verse 23, some went down to the sea in ships doing business on the great waters. They11:06 saw the deeds of the Lord for his wondrous works in the deep. He commanded and raised up a stormy wind. He lifted up the ways of the sea and then those sailors cry out on their distress. God delivers them. Verse11:18 31, let them give thanks to the Lord for his steadfast love, his wondrous works to men. And then notice he will begin and say, let them extol his congregation of the people,11:30 the praise of the assembly of the elders, and then verse 33 to the end of the chapter, he's gonna reach back and take the deliverances of God historically. Because this Psalm11:42 is written to a group of people who have missed God's goodness and they're focusing on circumstances and their lives aren't working and the only way he it's to pull back our perspective and to realize, oh,11:54 in the midst of our trouble in the past, 1 of the ways that God expresses his goodness is he delivers us. He reaches in and delivers us when we don't12:06 deserve it. The first 3 times, it's because of their sin. In fact, in your notes, I put a little summary. He rescues us from our enemies. He rescues us when we're spiritually adrift. He rescues us from the12:18 shadow of death. He heals our diseases. He saves us in the storms of life. And then notice at the very end, after he highlights these big moments in Israel's history, when they were in the desert,12:30 when he delivered them from the enemies. Verse 43, whoever is wise By the way, in biblical literature, the word wise especially in the old testament is not intellectual.12:42 Wisdom, book of Proverbs or even new testament book of James. Wisdom is understanding how God designed life to work. It's a skill and it's following that. So this is the12:54 pattern or the path of God says, this is how relationships work. Wisdom is, I'm going to follow that path. Wisdom is, this is how God designed money to work in our life. I'm going to follow that path.13:05 Wisdom is, when I've made a mistake, here's the path for reconciliation and forgiveness. I'll follow that path. So he's saying, let him who's wise attend to these things. Let them13:18 consider. Let them ponder the steadfast love. That's our word, loving kindness of the Lord. Can I ask you to do just a quick glance in your rear13:30 view mirror? In your memory bank. When has God delivered you or delivered someone you love? Anybody been in just13:41 a horrendous situation? Maybe you did something really terrible. Anybody had 1 of your kids in the hospital and you beg God for their life? And he delivered? Anybody anybody here been through cancer?13:55 You're here. Anybody here been upside down financially? Anybody here had a moment in your marriage that you just thought, you know, I get the covenant stuff.14:07 This person makes me so crazy. Divorce is not an option but14:19 and you just you grit your teeth and say, God, I want to learn to love this person and he delivered you. See that's that's God's goodness.14:31 It's his mercy. I I thought back in my little life I thought I think I was the most arrogant person that I'd ever met And it was14:43 all rooted in security but the only way I knew growing up was just to act like the tough guy and recruit the tallest biggest guy on the team to be my enforcer. Some kind of small.14:55 In my mouth and my arrogance and my insecurity and I just look back. God delivered me. Now I still have arrogance but at least it's not the big15:07 ugly kind. I mean I I you you gotta stop and look back and say, wait wait wait a second. The God who did that, you think he can handle this big 1, right? That you're facing?15:19 I had a very very troubled marriage. We both came from alcoholic backgrounds and my wife was a stuffer and I was a talker and we couldn't communicate. We couldn't resolve anger. And I15:31 praise God for Christian counseling. Even at 95 dollars an hour. It's a lot of money when you're making a thousand dollars a month. And you're in seminary preparing15:43 to teach people about God in marriage. You know you know the hardest part? I can I can vividly remember going into the Meyer Minnerith clinic and sitting down and15:54 waiting for our time and just praying that no 1 came through that door that knew me? That's how arrogant I was. I was so concerned about what other16:06 people would think. And now I look back and think you know we did 12 sessions. I have no idea where we got the money. And a few years later we needed to tune up and went16:18 back and sat down with someone you know when you get stuck. But God delivers. I'm so glad I didn't bail out so glad we didn't bail out so glad I can't imagine. Is it16:30 perfect. Of course not. She's still married to me. And you laugh but you I mean you know I've got idiosyncrasies that are off the chart. I'm intense off the chart. You know, I would not want16:42 to live with me but I'm so glad she does. And, and it's better and deeper in every I mean, emotionally, friendship, sexually, every we believe me,16:54 you name an area we've struggled and I don't, when I say we struggled, I mean like that was a little problem. It was a problem and God delivered. I think of, 1 of my17:06 sons in ICU and we didn't think he'd live. I think of 1 of my other sons in a 27 hour labor that we didn't think he was gonna make it. We just beg God.17:18 I remember 6 years of going through cancer with my wife and driving every every day to Stanford after the surgery and thinking is this is this what I get and God delivered.17:31 Just think. Just think. Ask yourself. Has our lives gotten so distracted with stuff and trivia?17:43 And so focused on the future and what about and what about and what about and what about and this unconscious desire to control and to manipulate and and try thinking in our little human as we can determine outcomes.17:55 What would happen if you started to look at the natural blessings and you begin to think and write and ponder he if he delivered, here's my here's my I'm pretty18:07 logical if he delivered in all those areas whatever is in the. Windshield of my life that feels painful overwhelming18:19 confusing and creates fear in my heart. I can at least look in the rearview mirror and say that God is with me and that God's out there. So all my question is okay.18:31 I don't get it and I emotionally but I'm gonna trust you. I'm gonna stay on the path. There is a there's a path or there is a way that seems right to men but it ends in18:43 death. And there's a path that's the Lord's that is fullness of joy where his pleasures are forever. The third and most profound18:55 way for sure is God has demonstrated his goodness through his son. Jesus is the proof of God's goodness and and I love it. It's his goodness before we did anything.19:07 It's not a cause and effect. There certainly is a clear relationship in scripture between the blessings of God in obedience and the discipline of God in disobedience, but even the discipline of God is19:19 out of His goodness and out of His love. He disciplines not because He's mad or punishing us, all of the just wrath and punishment of God was placed on Christ at the cross. If you're a son or a daughter, he may19:31 discipline you and bring you through very difficult times, but it's out of his heart of goodness and love to give you the best.19:38 You're listening to Living on the Edge. We'll return you to Chip's message in just a minute, But let me quickly share with you, God has called us to do incredible ministry work all around the world. And when you19:50 regularly give to Living on the Edge, you're a part of what we do. So consider becoming a monthly partner today, then visit livingontheedge dot org. We appreciate your20:01 generous support. Well with that, here's Chip.20:05 Whenever you're discouraged, whenever you wonder if God is good, there is a historical moment. The cross is the greatest revelation20:17 of the goodness of God in the universe. The cross. Why we were yet sinners, not when you cleaned up your act, not when you did better, not when you didn't have problems, why20:29 you and me were rebels and we could have been far from God and angry at God, or we could be a rebel being passively indifferent thinking we don't need him. Both is rebellion.20:42 In that moment, in that state, Christ demonstrated his love for you. He died in your place. It's the proof of God's goodness.20:55 Jesus is the guarantee of future goodness. The proof of present goodness is the cross. The guarantee of future goodness is the cross. He who did21:07 not spare his own son, but delivered him up literally or over for us all, how will he not also with him freely give us all things? It's called a priori21:19 logic. In other words, if someone would like forgive a 5000000 dollar debt, you think you could trust him if you went out to lunch and said, oh gosh, you know, I don't have my wallet. Oh my gosh, you think21:31 he'll pay for it? In other words, if if God has demonstrated his love through the cross, how will he not with him? He's loved you. He's rescued you. He's21:43 paid for you. How will he not with him give you wisdom to be in the right relationship? Give you direction for the right job, give you grace in the midst of a difficult situation. Psalm 8421:54 11 was the promise, but this verse, Romans 8 32 was why I turned from a path that was wrong, got on the exit ramp of repentance,22:06 and turned around and got on God's path. I was in college and as I've been a Christian about 3 years and I was, I knew22:18 Jesus was lord but he wasn't my lord. I knew I was in a relationship that was wrong and I couldn't trust God. And a young couple that had been a Christian about 9 months or a year, it was a small school, 3 or 4000 out in22:30 the middle of nowhere. Didn't had a like a red church, a white church, and a bar. Not even a gas station. And you couldn't get anything decent to eat. So when you're a college student and a young couple says, would you22:40 like to come to our house for dinner? Yes. And so we, I'll I'll never forget it. And so they were new Christians and looking back, they were very poor and they had a a little farm. I mean picture22:52 Norman Rockwell, old barn, you know, reddish, rusted door, white farmhouse, very simple. I think it's cool and vintage now, but remember the remember the tables that are plastic on23:03 top and with the curved legs that are steel and then when you sat on the thing, you stuck to them? They they didn't have doors. They they took a little wire and they put a sheet because they didn't have doors for I23:15 think they only had like 2 2 3 rooms in the house and they invited me over in a home cooked meal. Of course, they had a garden and and they were and they were really old like 28 or 30 and you23:27 know like like when you're 19 they're completely over. I mean there's still romance people that old you know and and we talked around the table and I watched how these 2 people looked at each other23:39 and there was this this gleam and this love and and she just reached over and kinda touched his hand and like a married couple really really in love and then he said excuse me we're you know23:51 we're we're gonna have ice cream and you know, apple pie that she's made and we'll be right back but we we're doing something new with our kids and they had like a a 5 year old, 4 year old, maybe a 2 year old and so they24:02 they went over and you know, I wasn't trying to eavesdrop but it's a sheet, you know? And so you could sort of see through the sheet and a little single bed and all 4 of them got down like this and they all held24:14 hands and and they topped the little kids a tiny little prayer. Thank you for today. Thank you for mommy. Thank you for daddy. Thank you that you died for us. And24:26 then the the husband prayed and you know it was you know not not all that long and then they came back in and they sat down at the table and I had great apple pie and had a green little Volkswagen at the time24:38 and the roads are real windy in West Virginia so I came to our campus and it was called Bartell Hill and it was just straight down and I lived in the dorm Bartell and I can still remember24:50 I was having a talk with God God that's what I want. I mean that's what I really want someday and I just heard the Holy Spirit whispered I'd love to give you that but it's on my terms not yours.25:02 And and I said, well I just I just can't believe that if I give up this girl that you have someone better for me. And and I was with a group that was big into scripture memory but I was not very25:13 big at sticking with the group. So I I was slow but I just started memorizing scripture and Romans 8 32 as I'm in the middle of that hill came to my mind. I mean just like out of25:25 the blue I didn't know the Holy Spirit did this stuff. Chip he did spared not his own son but delivered him up for us all. How will he not with him freely give us all things25:38 and you know I don't know why intellectually it went oh so you're willing to die for me you could actually get me the right wife and I got to the bottom of the hill and Jesus was the Lord of my life25:50 Not because I was stronger, not because I made some big commitment, it's because God is good. There's 3 very specific responses and we'll wrap up our time. Response number 126:02 is for those of you you have an intellectual relationship with God and but the fact the matter is is that if I ask you do you know for certain that if you died today you would spend eternity with the Lord Jesus because26:13 of his death on the cross and you receiving that free gift of God and is he a vital living part of your life you just you know we just you and me with coffee you look me in the eye go nah. I'm not sure. I don't know.26:26 This is for you. Repent and receive the greatest gift ever of eternal life. Romans 2 4 says that it is God's kindness and his goodness, his forbearance and patience that26:38 leads us to repentance. God has been so good and so kind and done so much in your life. It's all been to say, would you come and let me give you the best gift ever. You can't earn it. I wanna26:49 forgive your sin. I wanna come into your life and I wanna change your life and I want you to become my son or my daughter. And if you have never done that, right now I would just turn Ingram off because what he says27:00 doesn't matter and in my heart of hearts I would say almighty God I had no idea you were so good. I had no idea you loved me so much. I want to turn from my sin and in the empty hands of faith I ask you27:12 to forgive me based on Jesus work on the cross and resurrection and and come into my life right now and he will. And then tell someone and we'll help you get on the new path. Second27:24 is surrender your life and future fully to the lordship of Christ. This is God's will. God's will is not you're a little bit better moral person and you try really hard and go to religious services.27:37 God's will is that I urge you brothers in view of God's mercy rooted in his goodness, that you offer your body as a living and holy sacrifice pleasing to God. That is your spiritual service of27:49 worship. What God wants is not your money. What God wants is not your religious activity. He wants you. Lock, stock and barrel, he wants you. And what what that will28:00 do is that will reorient your time, it'll reorient your life, it'll reorient your money, but it will be out of a love relationship not trying to earn his favor. If you've never fully surrendered, he brought you on28:12 this day from your heart of hearts to bow your knee and say, Lord, I want to tell you I'm afraid, but on this day at this place, I offer myself all that28:24 I am, all that I have, all that I ever be. You have full rights to my life. I'm signing the bottom of a check. I'm ushering it underneath the throne room of God. You fill on the top.28:36 Whatever. Time, energy, money, future, location. You call the shots and all obey because it's the best and wisest plan because you love me, you're28:48 good, you're all knowing, and you're all wise. And finally, I would just encourage those of you who say, you know I'm a believer and I've surrendered. Claim God's promise that you'll never miss out in on any29:00 good thing because you lose it, don't you? Just because you've surrendered doesn't mean you don't fear that you're gonna miss out, that you aren't tempted. Claim today. Lord29:12 God, you are my son. You are my shield. You're my grace. You're my glory. No good thing ever will I miss out on29:24 as I walk uprightly before you. Before we go any farther today, I want you to pause. I don't care what you're doing. You might be on the treadmill.29:36 You might be sitting at the kitchen table. You might be out running. You might be riding in your car, but you need to pause right now and think about what the scripture, what God just said.29:48 If you find yourself outside of Christ, and what I mean by that is you do not have 100 percent certainty that if you would die at this moment, you would be ushered into heaven. You realize that29:59 God has been good, he's been kind, he's been speaking to your heart, and you've never turned from your sin and received him as your savior, you need to do that right now. It is the kindness, the goodness of30:11 God that leads to this change of mind. He loves you so much. He died for you. He rose from the dead. He has a gift for you that begins this minute on this day of a brand new life.30:23 And so let me just if you have not done that and you're not sure how, right now with me, pray this. Lord Jesus, I need you. I believe today that you died in my place for my sin and30:35 rose from the dead. Lord, I trust in you and you alone for eternal life, and I ask you to come into my life, cleanse me, forgive me, make me30:47 your son, make me your daughter. What I want you to know is that is called being born a second time or being born spiritually, or you may have heard being born again. Just like every person30:59 requires a physical birth to have physical life, every person requires a spiritual birth to have spiritual life.

Now, Chip, I31:51 wanted to give you another minute or so to talk to another group of people who listened intently to what you taught today.31:57 Dave, I appreciate that. I also wanna say a word to many, many of you who thought yourself, well, I've taken that step. Christ lives in me. And when I talked about his lordship, when I talked about32:08 absolute surrender, you know what? There's a job or a person or a girlfriend or a boyfriend or money or the future, and God brought things to your mind. And I will tell you that the32:20 dramatic, dramatic change that happens in followers of Christ is when they come to God and say, I really do believe you're a sun and a shield. I I really believe you give grace and glory, and I32:32 so believe you would never withhold any good thing from me. I want you to know that today, all that I am, all that I have, I surrender, and I mean it. And if you're not a little afraid, then you don't get it. Okay?32:44 We're all a little afraid. But I just I just gotta tell you, I've watched people who've been Christian 5 years, 10 years, 25 years never surrender. And when they do, the floodgates of32:56 heaven open. They experience power like never before and usually some difficulty early on. You'll get tested. We love you. God loves you. Surrender to him today.33:07 Incredible encouragement, Chip.
