Day 2: God Is Still Good

On days that seem as though they’re dragging on, when all of the everyday chaos is draining what seems to be every ounce of life out of us, my husband and I always share one simple reminder with each other: “God is good.” I know it may be hard to see right now, but friend, He is still good.

Hardships have a funny way of making us forget that God is always on our side. They sometimes make us want to question, “How could God do this to me?” But the truth is, God is not a Creator of destruction. He is the complete opposite; God is a Fixer of broken things and broken humans.

The trials we face and hardships we endure in this life are consequences of The Fall--the original sin and the initial works of the enemy. However, God meets us where we are, wherever that may be, with arms wide open, ready, and waiting to comfort us. Even when we can’t see it, He is constantly working behind the scenes on our behalf.

Maybe there was something wrong with that sweet baby, and God spared you both a different kind of heartache. Maybe your story was meant to help someone heal through a loss of their own. Regardless of the reasoning, I encourage you to press into Him today, ask Him for peace despite the unknown and believe that there is still good to be found in this trying situation you’ve been placed in.
