God is Good All The Time

Psalms 100:5 speaks of God’s goodness. For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations. (KJV).

The Scriptural truth of God’s goodness is essential to our Christian maturity and spiritual outlook.

God is good all the time. Regardless to what we feel or what we understand (or don't) or what others tell us. We must believe God is good – all the time. Life isn't always good, but God is good.

He's good to the wife holding her husband's hand when his breath becomes shallow and his words slow. Then his eyes close leaving her alone after a long and beautiful marriage.

God is good is when the sun is shinning and the world seems right. And He is good when the shadows fall in the evening and the seasons change.

He is good when our prayers are answered and while other prayers seem to be swallowed up by our sorrow or sit dormant on a shelf for days, weeks and even for years in a deafening silence.

His goodness will never match our pathetic attempts to keep on the straight and narrow. For when we stumble and fall our goodness can never make up the loss of moral footing. But He remains faithful and out of His goodness, He rescues us.

Even in our darkest hour when pain, fear and confusion seem to overwhelm us and those around us raise an argument or question about God’s goodness; we should never be swayed by their insistent pleas.

If we don’t believe He is good, we will quickly be overcome in a fallen world filled by devilish distractions, questions, and arguments that God is not good and therefore, not worthy to be trusted. And when God is no longer believed to be good, we live miserably in fear.
