Good All The Time

How many are familiar with the phrase, "God is good all the time and all the time, God is good"? I am sure all of us are, those saved and unsaved. But how many of us can truly say this and mean it?

Psalm 73 - Truly God is good to Israel, to such as are pure in heart.

Our Lord is good all the time, despite the trials we may be facing, the losses we are experiencing, or the unknown days ahead. We know that He is good despite all this. Even if we haven't acknowledged it, we have experienced His greatness in days past, He has promised us so much and given so much already. Those promises are for today.

His goodness:

He works all things for good to those that love Him. Romans 8:28
He has gone to prepare a place for us, and He will return for us. John 14:3
He will neither leave us nor forsake us. Hebrews 13:5
He is near to the broken hearted. Psalm 34:18
He desires to make us into the image of His Son, He will continue to perfect this until the day of Christ. Phil 1:6
He prunes us, He purges those branches from us that aren't bearing fruit and if we abide in Him we will bear fruit. John 15
He guides us with His counsel. Psalm 73:24
He perfects, strengthens and establishes us. 1 Peter 5:10
He protects us. Isaiah 54:17
He has overcome the world. John 16:33

If you are having difficulty seeing His goodness, if you can't seem to get focused on Him, distracted by all the worries of this world, step into His sanctuary, it is here that you will gain a clear vision of the Lord, of the plans He has for you, be patient, He is working, He cares for you, He sees all the circumstances surrounding your life and is taking great care in dealing with those things that concern you.
