The LORD is Always Good.

-Meditation-

1 Samuel 2:6-8

6 "The LORD brings death and makes alive; he brings down to the grave and raises up.
7 The LORD sends poverty and wealth; he humbles and he exalts.
8 He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the ash heap; he seats them with princes and has them inherit a throne of honor."For the foundations of the earth are the LORD's; upon them he has set the world.

Hello everybody! I absolutely love this! This scripture highlights many truths, and I really love the way it tells about how the LORD works. So many times we get these false views of Jesus that He does all we want Him to do, or He does everything He does against us, we so often take our situations, good or bad, and blame them on Jesus. Really I think He wants us to realize that He is good no matter what our circumstance is. He may be moving in ways that you don't understand like He normally does, and you may get mad or frustrated with Him, and He may be working in ways that you like a lot, but really no matter how He is working what determines whether it is good or bad is not how it makes you feel, but it is that He does everything He does for your good, and He has a purpose for what He is doing, and no matter what He is a good God, and who He is, is marvelous, and beautiful, and glorious, and He is full of love for you. So no matter what your circumstance, you may feel like He is far off just know that He does everything for the good of those who love Him, and even though our love is weak, He sees it, and He loves it, and He does good on our behalf.

That changes the way I think.

I don't know about you, but in my life in the past yes, but even now I go through hard times, and I don't understand what is really going on, but I know that the LORD sees me, and He is doing good on my behalf.

Our God is worthy of ALL of our praise!!

My encouragement to you is that no matter what the LORD sees you, and is doing a good work, even though we may not see it as good, He is a good good God.

Praise the LORD.
