God is Good
When I need urgent medical care, I want to be rushed to a good hospital. That means the nurses, doctors, and technicians can be trusted to do their very best. When I look for a restaurant to eat at, I want to eat at a good restaurant. That means the quality of food, service, and cleanliness meets my expectations.
We need good friends in our lives. We can tell them anything and they still accept us. We can trust them to be there in good times and bad times. We can be honest with them, and they will be just as honest with us. We look forward to spending time together. Good friends can be trusted, and are loyal. We would give the shirt off our backs when our friends are in need.
Our God is good all the time, every time. He can be trusted. He is honest, exceeds our highest expectations, tells us to come, as we are, so we can find peace and rest for our souls. Twenty-four hours a day He is ready to listen to our problems and then lovingly gives us the perfect advice. He is so patient with us when we don’t keep up our end of the relationship. His arms are open wide to embrace us all the time. He gave His very best, Jesus, who knew no sin, so we who know sin all to well might not have to face the consequences of our choices.
“Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good;
his love endures forever.” 1 Chronicles 16:34 NIV
