“GOD IS GOOD!”
Psalms 107:1 – Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good! His faithful love endures forever. (NLT)
Read: 1 Chronicles 16:34
Two men travelled with a donkey and a lamp. One was a Christian, while the other was an unbeliever. The believer said, “God is good”. “Well, we will see during this trip”, said the other man. At night, the men could not get a place to sleep in the village, so they slept outside the town. “I thought you said that God is good”, the unbeliever mockingly said. “God has decided that this is the best option for us”, explained the believer. Consequently, they made their tent under a tree and tied the donkey about five metres away.
A lion suddenly pounced on the donkey, and the men quickly climbed the tree. “Friend, you still think that God is good?”, the man asked. “If the lion had not eaten the donkey, we would have been consumed by the animal. So, God is good!”, said the cheerful man. Shortly, a mighty wind blew off the only lamp that kept them warm, and the doubting man mocked his friend, “Apparently, God’s goodness has been working for us all night”. This time, the Christian did not respond!
In the morning, they returned to the village to get food, but they discovered that a robbery had occurred overnight. Hearing this, the believer said, “Now it is clear that God is good. If we had spent the night here, we would have been robbed. The robbers would have also seen us if the wind hadn’t blown our lamp out.” Finally, the unbeliever confessed that “the Lord is good!”
Beloved, no matter the condition, as seen in today’s Bible text, God is good! He cannot bring you this far to abandon you. God has perfect timing; He is never too early or late. It may take a bit of endurance and faith, but in the end, it will be worth the wait! As you go about the day’s activities, know that “those who leave everything in God’s hands will see the hands of God in everything!”
