God is Good. All the Time. All the Time. God is Good.
“O, taste and see that the Lord is good.” [Psalm 34:8]
It is so easy to say “God is good, all the time” when we are surrounded with blessings, when every step we take is successful, when circumstances are pleasant and life is lifted on the breezes of comfort.
Not so easy to say “Good is good, all the time,” when life turns on us. When we suffer loss. When we lose our health, or our wealth. When every step is a struggle.
Yet God’s “Goodness” is like all His character … it is immutable … it never changes.
As Christians, we are not immune from difficulties. God’s goodness does not mean life will always be fair or pleasing. If you read the rest of Psalm 34, you will find an interesting thought in verse 19.
“The righteous person faces many troubles, but the LORD comes to the rescue each time.”
Praying through verses 15 to 22 today will give us much to be thankful for during any trouble. (A Hint: The LORD’s attention to His own, His rescues, His closeness to the brokenhearted, His protection, His Salvation and Redemption.) Amen & Amen
