In a world where good and bad seem topsy-turvy, how do we consistently fill our souls with ideas, concepts and thoughts leaning toward the good?

The psalmist gives an answer—You (God) are good, and what you do is good; teach me your decrees.

In order to bring goodness into my life, I need to stay close to the source of all things good. The Lord defines good, and what he does is good. All the goodness I experience, in relationships, health, adventures, housing and sustenance originate in the Lord.

So how do we gain insight and knowledge of the Lord and his goodness? Through his decrees, his words, the Holy Bible in my hands.

Want to discover goodness? Open the Good Book. Nothing else comes close.
