God is Good.
Well...I have no choice, He backed me into a corner and I have to admit it.
God is Good.
Ok...granted it was not the hardest thing to admit to as I am a follower of Jesus... (ok...honestly it was...)
But lately I have been struggling with that...
Been wondering where God is at.
A marriage of 15 years down the tubes, a wrecked financial situation as a result, a house in need of repair with 20 years worth of mortgage to go, and a life alone...
(ok, not REALLY alone, God counts but read on...)
Yup, was really wondering where God was...
It looked like I was going through this all my my self, after all every day, I have to get out of bed, and make my life happen.
No one else is going to go to work for me, no one else is going to pay the bills, no one else is going to take responsibility.
Just me.
(oh yeah, and God)
With out Him I really would be in trouble.
Probably be staring at this screen through a whisky bottle or worse through a cloud of pot smoke...but I digress...
Oh, yeah, but God is Good...
Had a really bad day last week and came home all depressed about my situation when God tapped me on the shoulder and said hello.
A wise man once told me:
"It is not that you will fall down, because we all will fall down."
"It is the direction you are looking when you get up that counts."
I looked to Jesus and He was there.
He knew I needed to feel His presence and He showed up.
He did a miracle to boot...
Wow...humbled
In spite of my lack of faith, in spite of my unbelief, He showed up.
The King of Kings and Lord of Lords in MY livingroom.
...and in my heart.
God is never less, God is never more, God is enough.
He custom meets our needs in our exact situation precisely how we need to be met.
Nothing more, nothing less.
Exactly what we need.
Yes, God is Good.

Your a good man Moose. It is wondeful that you are able to praise God dispite your circumstance. It is so easy to allow the pressures of life get you down, yet your heart remains intact. Good job. Nice post bud.
so so so encouraging. LOVE HEARING ABOUT GOD'S GRACE AND MERCY TO US ALL.
posted on that yesterday. gives new meaning to 'Because He first loved me'
YES, GOD IS GOOD ALL THE TIME
AND ALL THE TIME GOD IS GOOD!
LOVE SAYING THAT!
Hey Moose! If you visit my blog much...you've heard me say it over and over again..."God is God and God is good!" He's the Boss Man...allowing things to head in our direction...but knowing what they will teach us how they will develop our character in Christ. Just knowing that He will work it out for our good is consolation during those tough times when we can't see what's up ahead. Follow the Good Shepherd and He will make the road rise up to meet you!
