When Life Is Good

Read the news. Hear the reports. Evil is on every hand. We read about injustice, pain and suffering, death and disaster. Life is good, because God is good. Life is good, if you know God is working in all things for good. Life is good, when you know how good God is to you.

There are times when it seems that evil shall prevail. Be encouraged. Forsake fear. Lift your eyes of faith to the God who shall prevail. He cannot fail. He must prevail. You may not see it today or tomorrow, but good shall prevail because God is good.

God gave all of us choice. God could easily eliminate all evil by taking away our choice. He does something that is far better. God changes our hearts to experience His goodness. The goodness of God leads you to repentance (Romans 2:4). Life is good, when God leads you. Those who reject God's goodness will meet His justice in the day when good shall prevail and evil shall fail.

Life is good, when you know God's love and grace. God's goodness changes your heart. You discover life is good, because God is good. Unbelief says, "All I see is evil. How can you say God is good?" Faith responds by saying, "Life is good, when you know God is working all things together for your good." For the LORD is good (Psalm 100:5).
