Last night a car
slipped off the jack and hit my dad on the head (very bad stuff). I was at work
when it happened. Once I read the text I drove to the ER, my mind racing in
different directions…I didn't know how bad it was. But as I drove, up out of my
spirit came the words "God is good". So I started saying out it loud. And the peace of God just washed over me. Now
a day later, my dad is doing great (16 stitches) and is without a headache. That my friends is amazing!
Here is the moral of
the story folks:
When things go
bad….the seconds right after that are most important! Why? Because your beliefs
become clear and you either choose to
believe that God is Good or that he isn't. And that will shape how you handle your trail.
In our lives trials are going to come. There's no doubt about it, but we can walk in victory all the way through
if we choose to. If I had let fear and worry take over my heart my emotional
state would have been WAY different.
God is good all the
time. "But how could he let this happen?" You know, I have come to
the conclusion (and so should you) that God is way bigger, way smarter and so
much more capable than me. That Is where trust can comes into play.
When we choose to
believe He is good and that He loves us then we can remain under that umbrella
of love and peace (that totally bypasses our understanding). When we choose worry and fear we step out from under it….and we get
wet with the worries of life.
Stay underneath His
umbrella of peace. Even when it looks bad God is still good.
Whatsoever Think
Are you going
through something right now and having a hard time seeing that God is good even
what's happening around you isn't? It's not too late to change. Just start
saying that He is good in the face of what your situation is. The love of God
never fails…Never!
