All Is Well Because God Is Good!

As of late, when asked how I am doing, my response is, “all is well because God is good!”

Yes, I agree, life can be tough, and problems are real.

Sicknesses happen

Relationships fail

Bills need to get paid

Hearts get broken

Rejection hurts

BUT GOD IS STILL GOD, AND HE IS GOOD SO ALL IS WELL!

This statement is not a dismissal or denial of the difficulties that life brings.  Instead, it is a choice to magnify God over my difficulties and to remind myself that all things will work together for my good.  Why is it so easy for us to focus on the negative things around us while dismissing the overwhelming evidence of God’s goodness that is constantly before us?  This morning, I opened my bedroom blinds and was in awe of the beautiful sunset that greeted me.  I had to pause and take it all in.  What I saw confirmed Psalm 19, “the heavens proclaim the glory of God.  The skies display his craftsmanship.”

We have a choice.  We can begin our day focusing on our problems and the business that awaits us, or we can pause to acknowledge the goodness of God.  You don’t have to look very far to see it, creation testifies of His goodness. I see and acknowledge it, so I will continue to say and live in the reality that, “all is well because God is good!”  What declaration rooted in truth are you making today?

Be Blessed
