God Is Good! This is a phrase most of us are familiar with.It is easy to see God’s goodness when life is going good. But sometimes life is hard and we just don’t have the answers to it all. And that is ok, for we walk by faith, not by sight. The Bible tells us that God is good. It is in the hard times we must hold on to this truth found in Psalm 100:5 “For the Lord is good and his love endures forever: his faithfulness continues through all generations. God’s goodness is based on His character. It is not just that He does good things, He is good. With all the inconsistency we see in the world today, God is consistent, and He does not change.
I am reminded of the song written and sung by Don Moen “God Is Good All The Time”. These are a few of the words to the song. If you’re walking through the valley And there are shadows all around, Do not fear, He will guide you He will keep you safe and sound He has promised to never leave you Or forsake you, and His word is true God is good all the time He put a song of praise in the heart of mine God is good all the time Through the darkest night His light will shine God is good We were sinners and so unworthy Still for us He chose to die Filled us with His Holy Spirit Now we can stand and testify That His love is everlasting And His mercies they will never end God is good all the time He put a song of praise in this heart of mine Though I may not understand All the plans you have for me My life is in your hands And through the eyes of faith I can clearly see That God is good all the time He put a song of praise in this heart of mine God is good all the time – All the time God is good!
