GOD IS GOOD

I know my God is good.

Sometimes people give up what they know for what they don’t know.

Let me try and explain. There are a lot of things in life that we don’t know. We don’t always know why something is happening to us and we might even think why has God allowed this to happen.

I thought God was supposed to be a good God but this trouble I'm in is troubling me.

First of all, it is important that there are things that you do know so that when things that you don’t know happen to you at least you know something for sure.

Secondly, we need to know in our "knower" and believe in our "believer" that GOD IS A GOOD and then we will “know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.” Romans 8:28

I don’t give up what I know for what I don’t know.

READ Psalm 34:8

"Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the man who takes refuge in him."

Is your definition of good different from God's?

I've found during the course of my life that I tend to think I know what's best for me. And since I like to be in charge, I often find myself telling God what I think He should do, or how He should change my circumstances so that it all works out for my good. I like it when things go my way. Besides, who knows what's best for me better than me--right? Wrong

God always has our best interest at heart whether we believe it or not. Unlike us, He can see far into the future, and by this, determine what's best. Unfortunately, you and I often settle for less than good by not trusting God to give us His best.

I can only imagine the day we stand before God and see Him as He really is.

Silent before Him in wonder and awe, we'll say to ourselves, "Why didn't I hush and do it His way. Oh, what blessings I missed."
