There are moments in our lives where it’s nearly impossible to reconcile the goodness of God in the midst of our uncertainties, trauma, and emotional pain. When the cares of the world have engulfed us in despair and the fear and uncertainty encroach upon us we must ask ourselves what we know about the character of God. Our feelings may lead to thoughts that tell us differently, but the truth is, we have a choice, even when our world is crashing down around us.
Do we sit in despair, believing lies, or choose to trust that God is good because He says He is? He is sovereign. His character is innately good. Our hope is in Him and His ways are above ours.
Psalm 34:8-10
Taste and see that the Lord is good;
blessed is the one who takes refuge in him.
Fear the Lord, you his holy people,
for those who fear him lack nothing.
The lions may grow weak and hungry,
but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing.
S1E13
