Have you notice that when something good happens in your life, such
as a promotion or your favorite team win their game or you bowl
a strike in bowling or you win a debate over an issue that's dear to your
heart, you jump up in enthusiasm with fist balled up and make a upward motion
with your hand yelling "Yes! God is good."
I hear that statement often and only
when something great goes on in your life. Wasn't God good before that
incident? Wasn't He good when you were laid off from your job? You
end up getting a better job and making more money. Wasn't He good when your
house caught on fire? Your insurance claim paid out more than you could imagine
and got your house fixed or better, received enough money to get another
house? Wasn't He good when you were
robbed? He replaced what was taken and gave you more than you previously had?
Wasn’t He good when you had no idea how to pay a bill that popped up on the
radar and someone came along and just handed you money because you were on
their mind? I could go on but I think you get the point. Is God really
good to you or you just excited in the moment. God is good
all the time. He sustains you through the good and bad times. God is good,
period! Next time you say, “God is good!” is it because God really is
good or something good happened to you. God is good when bad
things happen too. God is just good.
