+We will all face these moments in our lives, when everything we can see tells us that God is not good to us.
+At those moments, whether we realize it or not, we ask ourselves this question: Do we believe God is good by what we see or do we believe God is good because of who he is?
+This life is filled with circumstances that will leave us questioning or even denying God’s goodness if we live by what we see, rather than by faith in what God has promised.
+The choice we face is a daily one. We can choose to either trust what we see and define what’s good for us ourselves, and grow annoyed with God and doubt his goodness, or we can live by faith in a crucified Savior and let him define what’s good for us, even if it means exercising our faith muscles as we choose to trust him over what we can see and feel.
+So let’s come to Christ with our doubts and weaknesses and ask him to give us the faith to take our eyes away from what we can see in front of us and lift our eyes again to the cross—because that is where we will find assurance and confidence in the undeserving goodness and faithfulness of our heavenly Father.
+Is God good? Yes. He died for you. ☝️
๐ God, thank You for showing Yourself faithful and true. You always keep Your promises.
+So today, I will remember all that You’ve done and praise You for who You are.
+You are faithful, You are trustworthy, and You still continue to do wonderful things.
+There is no one like You! In Jesus’ name, Amen. ๐๐ค๐ป๐ช
