He is Good

By Judy Glasser

As the sun rises each morning, I am reminded,

God is good.

Every time I look at the faces of my grandchildren who start smiling when they are still super teeny, I am reminded,

God is good.

My husband, Dave, and I are celebrating 43 years of marriage at the end of this month and I am reminded,

God is good.

My calendar is filled with good times and special moments with people I love and I am reminded,

God is good.

I am completely confident in this truth -

My God is good.

During the dedication of the Lord's Temple in 1 Kings, we read that "The trumpeters and musicians joined in unison to give praise and thanks to the Lord.  Accompanied by trumpets, cymbals and other instruments, the singers raised their voices in praise to the Lord and sang:    

"He is good; his love endures forever."  2 Chron. 5:13.

I smile when I think about how  my voice saying "God is good"  joins with an enormous crowd of people who have praised and loved God down through the ages.  When I say these words, I am joining with all believers through all of history.  I hear the angels praising God with us, filling the heavens with gratitude through all eternity.

These words were true back when King Solomon built the temple and they remain true today.  When I became absolutely convinced that God is good, peace filled my soul  The truth is, no matter how bad or crazy or painful things in my life or in your life look or feel, God is good.  Our circumstances do not change this fact.

 God is good; his love endures forever!
