**Let's lift up**:"Why do you call me good?" Jesus asked. "Only God is truly good."
—Mark 10:18 NLT
Yes, only God is good. But then that is the point, isn't it? Jesus is "God is with us," [1] and we must put our faith in him and listen to him and obey just as we must with God. If the man who asked the question in the previous verse [2] can't see that Jesus has God's authority as well as God's goodness, he will never relinquish complete control of his heart, his life, and his future. Come to think of it, neither will we. Only God is good! So then, LORD Jesus, you have our attention as God speaking to us!
[1] Matthew 1:23.
[2] Mark 10:17.
O Father in heaven, hallowed is your mighty name. I recognize that your Son, Jesus, is God come in the flesh — your very presence with us. Thank you for becoming one of us. In Jesus' name. Amen.
