God Is Good, All The Time

“God is good, all the time; all the time, God is good."

Can you say that with confidence this morning? What is your situation? What was your week like? What mountains were you or are you faced with today? Are they so massive that they overshadow God’s goodness in your eyes?

If it’s difficult for you to sense God’s goodness today, you are in good company. Elijah, Jeremiah, David, Job, Moses, Habakkuk, and many others had moments in their lives where they struggled to see how a good God could let certain things happen.

Consider these timeless words of hope

Psalm 27:13 I am still confident of this: I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.

2 Peter 1:3 His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness.

1 Chronicles 16:34 Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; his love endures forever.

Psalm 34:8 Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the man who takes refuge in him.

Psalm 100:5 For the Lord is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations.

Psalm 106:1 Praise the Lord. Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; His love endures forever.

Psalm 119:68 You are good, and what You do is good; teach me your decrees.

Psalm 135:3 Praise the Lord, for the Lord is good; sing praise to His name, for that is pleasant.

Nahum 1:7 The Lord is good, a refuge in times of trouble. He cares for those who trust in him.

What are you faced with today? Whatever it is, keep in mind that God, who is good is ordering your steps and trust Him to guide you every step of the way.

By your side on the journey, MJ
