Hi Brian!


The word for this week is "fine". I thought I misheard this one when every verse that had fine in it was actually speaking of the linen, or the flour, or the gold that was fine. But 2 Chronicles 3:5 & 8 both use the word fine referring to the gold, but the word also stands alone. It is the Hebrew word "towb".  According to Brown-Driver-Briggs Greek Lexicon, this word means: good, pleasant, agreeable, excellent, rich, valuable, appropriate, becoming, prosperous, welfare, happiness, bounty. It is only found 3 times as "fine", but many, many times as "good"! Here are a few:


Genesis 1:31 And God saw every thing that He had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.


Psalm 84:11 For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will He withhold fro them that walk uprightly.


Psalm 92:1 It is a good thing to give thanks unto the LORD, and to sing praises unto Thy Name , O most High.


Psalm 100:5 For the LORD is good; His mercy endures to all generations.


Psalm 106:1, Psalm 107:1, Psalm 118:1, Psalm 118:29 all say, in some form, For the LORD is good, His mercy endures forever!


So God is good to US! Here is Hillsong Live with "Forever Reign":
