The goodness of God endureth continually. ~ Psalm 52:1b
Anyone who follows this blog knows that God has really laid it on my heart to purge and prepare and to simply get back to the basics in every aspect of life. That's my overwhelming goal in life right now--Him and family first. Lately, though, I've also felt in my heart how much we all need to hold on to the fact that God is good. It's been repeated over and over in word and song and thought lately.
Yes, we all know He's good.
But have you considered about His goodness when the days are gloomy and gray outside? What about when a loved one is ill or in trouble that you can't help? What about when money is tight and jobs are lost or cut back? What about when a friend you trusted hurts you? What about when you feel hurt or alone?
All these things and more do not change the goodness of God. He is still good.
And because He's good and He's our God, we need to praise Him and cling to his promises. We need to hold tight to this through all of life's storms and as we go about our days. We need to remember this to be able to show His goodness in our lives and be those lights for the world to draw them to Him!
Easier said than done, but with prayer and thanksgiving, we can remember that any day which God is a part of cannot be anything but good and beautiful!

Wow Tam, thanks for sharing this with me! God is so good. At times it is hard to remember that, but it doesn't make it any less true!
Ecclesiastes 7:14 says:
When times are good, be happy; but when times are bad consider: God has made one as well as the other.
Great verse, Harter! Thanks for adding it to this post, because it is so true and so in tune with what I've been thinking!
