God is God, and He is Good

Recently, I have been dwelling on the theme of "God is God, and He is good."

I think it's easy to agree with that statement when life seems to be going well, and there's minimal challenges.

How about when life isn't exactly what you thought it was going to be? How about when someone you know dies of cancer and leaves a wife and three young daughters? How about when a dear family friend has a massive stroke, and his recovery path is not clear? How about news you receive about your own health?

I think that's when I dwell even more on "God is God, and He is good. Always good." Difficult circumstances are not easily explained in earthly terms. Colossians 3:2 reminds us to, "Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things."

So I also dwell on:

And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose. Romans 8:28
