“God IS Good All the Time!”
 

God is Good

By Dona Hake

 
The other morning I was looking at my emails, weather, and my Facebook posts while eating my oatmeal and enjoying my coffee.    Honestly there are times that social media really disturbs me yet there are many things posted that are inspirational and encourages hearts.   I sat there and as I was reading I felt prompted to share on my Facebook timeline…
 
 
 
GOD IS GOOD ALL THE TIME
 
ALL THE TIME GOD IS GOOD!
 
 
Just twelve words posted, and I was amazed how much attention was given to these simple yet powerful words.      Interesting isn’t it?   We just never know how our words may be hitting those that are seeking answers,  and need to know that our God is indeed good.      Yes…God is good!  This is a beautiful and solid truth yet I think sometimes it has just become a cliche. May our words that we speak about God always cause joy to rise in our hearts as we speak them. He is indeed a good God, and a wonderful God. There are not enough words to express everything that He is to those that love Him.

 

 

 One day I can remember that  I was trying to sort through my different Bibles and favorite books, and  I pulled out a slip of paper from one of my Bibles, and on it I had written the following scripture:

Psalm 42:8 (AMP)

“Yet the Lord will command His loving-kindness

in the daytime, and in the night His song shall be

with me, a prayer to the God of my life.”

 

Sometimes when I am reading there are words that just come alive and jump off the pages and I love writing them down and reading over them again. When I write scriptures down it was because something very special stood out to me and spoke to my heart.

 

 As I found this paper it reminded that God is good and He speaks to me through His Word. It is important to remind ourselves of  the truth that God IS good and this truth can be fresh and new every morning. At the end of a day He has a song for your heart. Even though there may be things in your day that you encountered and they seemed to rob you of your joy, He brings a song to your heart as your lie down to sleep.     Today I encourage you to think about the goodness of your God!
