God Is Good!


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.

Understanding It Better By and By

    Funny how life has a way of showing you what you’re made of.  When adversity hits, what you say you wouldn't do becomes easier to do.  When the rubber meets the road, yes! you do the unthinkable.  Let's say you have a house fire and on the second floor is your baby and mom. You can only save one, which would it be? I've heard many say they would grab the baby since mom has been around a long time. I couldn't say.  I'm not in that situation right now.  There's no way to know what to do until tragedy hits.  Some can handle atrocities, whereas; other have no clue how to maneuver suffering nor know why hardship occurs.  Stop trying to figure out why hardships happens--only the Father knows.  He won't  have you guessing long.      The underlining reason at the end of your trials gives away the mystery. Experiencing hardship isn't fun but you will come out with more insight than ever before....

Trust God

Proverbs 3:5-6: Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight ( NIV ). “Police, Police, a young man stole my bike.”   Minutes earlier the gentleman stops at the local store. Thirsty from the summer heat, he decides to get a drink.   Dismounting his bike, a kind young man greets him with a smile and offers to watch the bike. Grateful for the offer, the gentleman hands over the bike.   He enters the store. On returning, the bike and young man had vanished. The gentleman had a good heart, but he had misplaced trust.   Trust in the Lord is paramount (Hebrews 11:6). Life cannot be maneuver through our wisdom, we need the wisdom of the Savior.   He alone can handle our life cycle issues.   A fulfill and successful life with Jesus comes through obedience and surrender. The Lord then guides us into an everlasting peace despite difficulties and h...

Multitasking tires you out.   With so many balls in the air, when do you find time for God? Those balls you juggle are children, spouse, job, church, youth sports, club attendances, shall I go on? Did you forget someone? God gave you those balls you juggle. He didn’t intend for you to replace Him with them. Everything thing comes from God for you to enjoy, but not to neglect Him.   In Bible days, if God didn’t open the womb, women didn’t have children (1 Samuel 1:5). There were no doctors to provide medical advice or procedures to help women have children. God gave the children (1 Samuel 1:20). Likewise, all you own comes from the Master.   There is none like Him (1 Samuel 2:2). He is full of knowledge (1 Samuel 2:3), raises the poor (1 Samuel 2:8), and guards the feet of His faithful (1 Samuel 2:9). So, the next time you have so much going on that you can’t thank God, remember the One who takes care of you.   Remember how healthy you are to juggle...
