The Goodness Of God

I would have lost heart, unless I had believed That I would see the goodness of the LORD In the land of the living.

Psalm 27:13

I don’t have to debate with you about the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. We expect that as God’s people, but sometimes we don’t see it because we don’t look for it. I’ve been keeping track of the goodness of God in the land of my living. I keep a little journal in which I write things God does. My list is growing. When I’m in trouble and my faith gets down to a flickering flame, I open up my journal and read my list, which shows the goodness of God in the land of my living. It has been a great encouragement to me.

God isn’t on our time schedule. We need to remain calm when God delays. Sometimes when we pray, “Lord, help,” He doesn’t do it right away.

When trouble comes express, extend, experience, and enjoy your faith. When you pray in times of trouble, respond to God, rely on Him, resign to His will, and remain calm until His help arrives.
