Episode 43: The Goodness Of God - Psalm 21:3
Episode 43 – The Goodness Of God – Psalm 21:3
What does it really mean to experience the goodness of God?
In this episode of Refuge & Strength, previously called Getting To Know God, Pastor b.Side continues the study through Psalm 21, focusing on a single verse—Psalm 21:3—and uncovering a powerful connection among God’s goodness, His blessing, the Messiah, and the ultimate victory of Jesus Christ.
Psalm 21:3 says that God meets His triumphant king with “the blessings of goodness” and places a crown of pure gold upon his head. But what exactly is the blessing? And what makes something genuinely good according to the Bible?
This study traces the biblical meaning of “blessing” back to God’s covenant with Abraham in Genesis 12, revealing how the promised Blessing ultimately points to Jesus Christ—the Messiah and the Light of the world.
The episode also explores the connection between:
📖 God’s Word and the definition of goodness
💡 Jesus as the Light of the world
✝️ The Blessing promised to Abraham
👑 The crown given to those approved by God
🔥 Jesus’ ultimate victory and judgment
🙏 True success, satisfaction, and spiritual prosperity
❤️ Why pursuing God is more important than pursuing the “good things” of this world
The world constantly tells us to chase what we think is good—success, wealth, recognition, comfort, happiness, and achievement. But Scripture gives us a different standard:
True goodness doesn’t come from what we pursue. True goodness comes from God.
And the ultimate manifestation of that goodness is found in Jesus Christ.
He is the Blessing.
He is the Light.
He is the source of true victory.
He is the reward.
He is the goodness of God revealed in flesh.
If you want to understand what the Bible actually means by God’s goodness, this study through Psalm 21:3 is one you won't want to miss.
🎧 Listen now, and discover why the best way to find what is truly good is to seek the One who defines goodness in the first place.
