Getting a Grip on the Goodness of God

Foundation Scriptures:
Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God. And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. Romans 8:26-28 NKJV
INTRO: JESUS CHRIST to the church in Philadelphia in Revelation 3:11.
Behold, I am coming quickly! Hold fast what you have, that no one may take your crown. Revelation 3:11 NKJV
APOSTLE PAUL to his son in the faith TIMOTHY in 1 Timothy 6:19.
Command those who are rich in this present age not to be haughty, nor to trust in uncertain riches but in the living God, who gives us richly all things to enjoy. 18 Let them do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to give, willing to share, 19 storing up for themselves a good foundation for the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life. 1 Timothy 6:17-19 NKJV
PAUL to the church at Philippi in Philippians 3:12.
Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me. Philippians 3:12 NKJV
