He’s been so Good

Sometimes when life gets difficult we are tempted to doubt God’s goodness. Our circumstances overwhelm us because we can’t see our way out of a bad situation. At that moment, the devil shows up with a boatload of reasons why we can’t trust God. Our flesh will give us all kinds of excuses about why we should be thinking of ourselves. And the world entices us to join everyone else on the wide road leading to destruction.

Yet, right in the moment of despair is the best time to rehearse to ourselves the goodness of God. It’s not fate nor coincidence that reigns our lives—it’s the Lord! He has a plan for each one of us that is good. Even though our present moment may be filled with pain, we will see His goodness in this lifetime. How has God been good?
