When things are going well it is easy to say, “God is good.” But then…
- …An unexpected event requires life-threatening surgery.
- …A car accident happens that leaves us paralyzed.
- …A bike wreck happens with no known cause that leaves our body broken and bruised.
- …A serious long-term diagnosis leaves our memory jumbled, our body trembling and at the mercy of family or worse, a home.
- …A loss of job happens when the plant closes down.
- …A virus comes that paralyzes a nation, shutting down all we know and life screeches to a halt.
Is God still good? The answer is a nutshell: Yes. God’s goodness is not determined by circumstances. One of the phrases I dislike a lot-by unbelievers and by Christ-followers- is “I’m so lucky.” No. You aren’t lucky because in God’s economy, there is no such thing as luck.
In spite of how hard it is to see, God is still good. In spite of cancer; a car accident; a bike wreck; Alzheimer’s, MS or Parkinson’s; a job loss; or a coronavirus, God is still good.
“Father, no matter what happens in my life, help me to always remember You are always good.”
AMEN AND AMEN!!!!
May I add an Amen? 🙂
Nothing to add… You nailed it.
Thanks Ryan.
Oh, yes! God is always good, no matter what.
Blessings, Bill!
Agreed Martha.
“My ways are higher than your ways.” And since He is perfect He can’t help but good. If our life is a blink compared to eternity, then time for us isn’t like it is for the One that created us and it…
