I have heard that saying SO many times...I even have a clock that says it. Get it? All the "time," get it, get it...ha?! Anyway, dorky statements aside, God truly is good, all the time. I'm sitting here in an attitude of thankfulness to God today. Sometimes I am just filled with such an awe of the Lord and all that He has done in my life. Of course, most days, I forget to thank God...I ask Him for stuff. God do this, God do that...God I need this, God I need that...blech! It's a wonder God keeps the phone line open!
But He does. Jeremiah 33:3 says, "Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things..." I like that verse, kind of like God giving us His number. "Just call me," God says, and I will show you things. Things that God will do to get that answer your way; things that maybe we need to do in order to receive that answer; or the "other" answer, NO. Or worse yet, WAIT! I think I would rather get a NO than a WAIT. Ugh. Who wants to wait for anything?! It amazes me though, how detailed God is. He knows the desires of our heart, and the Bible tells us that if we delight in Him, that He will give us those desires. As we delight in Him, our focus is drawn heavenward, so that our desires truly are what God desires for our lives. And He knows how to make them come to pass. He has the ability to so strategically line things up in our lives so that everything meshes at just the right time, simply to meet our need.
It sure is nice to know that God is in control of EVERYTHING. That when we can't trace God, we can trust Him. When we cannot see the end of the trial we are going through; or the problem seems to big for anyone to handle, we can trust that God is in the business of working all things together for our good. All things. That means every single thing that happens in our lives, be it good, bad or indifferent, God's word promises to work it all out for our good, for those that love God. Auhhh.
Maybe that is why I feel such a thankfulness today. Maybe today, if just for today, I think I actually am resting in that concept. God really is good...all the time.
