A Good God
For the Lord is good and His love endures forever;
His faithfulness continues through all generations.
Psalm 100:27
His faithfulness continues through all generations.
Psalm 100:27
Much of the Psalms were centered on praising God for His attribute of goodness that was (and is) clearly portrayed through His mighty acts. The early Israelites used the Psalms in worship to be reminded that every circumstance –whether good or bad - could be viewed through God's goodness.
When evil rears its ugly head close to home, we as believers may silently question His goodness and be tempted in those moments to draw back from Him. Yet God graciously extends His hand and invites us to take this struggle inside His presence where His attributes can be etched into our hearts and minds.
Despite what our feelings tell us, we can declare that in the best of times and the worst of times -- God is always good; God is always good.
