Psalm 119: 66 " Teach me good judgment and knowledge: for I have believed thy commandments."
"God is always good, and everything He does is good. I think this is a concept that we know is true, but that doesn't always FEEL true. We don't understand how the difficulties and hard times in life line up with the perfect goodness of God. We can be confident that God's nature and everything about Him is GOOD, and that He can only do good."
Well, that grabbed my attention. because we as humans sometimes rely more on our emotions and how we feel than on facts. God promises hundreds of blessings in the Bible. We experience God's gifts every single day: food on our table, a job, a car, family, health, clothes, waking up in the morning...., But often times we forget these things in the valley. But as the Psalmist says: God "deals well" with us! Even when life seems to be falling apart around us, God says "it is good" and He is using those times for your good!
When God created the Earth, He created it one thing at a time. Now we as little earthlings know what the Earth is supposed to look like. and we would have not understood when on day one, God only created light and darkness. It would seem unfinished to us. We would be confused. Some of us distraught that there were no plants, animals, or waters. But that's because we can't see tomorrow. But God can. It may seem incomplete to us, But God sees the finished product. What's coming next.
Verse 71 says: "It is good for me that I have been afflicted,,," Without struggles and trials we would never grow, or learn to fully depend on Christ. The goodness of God is greater than riches. We learn good judgment and knowledge in every trial. We can use these hard times to become more like Christ and to trust His Wisdom! But in all times of life remember:
HE IS GOOD, AND HE DOES GOOD.
