Daniel 3:18-"But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up."
Ever have something that you want and it's either taken from you or it seems that someone else gets the blessing we think we deserve? Often, we covet what others have and wonder why God seems to refuse to bless us with that same thing. That's me! In my season of life I am asking God "Why" an awful lot lately. "Why me God?" or "Why not me God?" or "Why are they blessed?" His answer "What's it to you?"
What is it to me? Has He not been good to me and answered my prayers? Truth: YES! He has answered my prayers and is continually working in my life. Even if the Lord chooses to take away my ability to bear children, if He takes away my friends, my family, my reputation, or my life...He is still good. He still has what is best for me at the heart of His plans. So why do I feel like the world is crashing around me and everything I have overcome has suddenly meant nothing?
Throughout the past few weeks I have been able to spend a lot of time with my Heavenly Father...pleading, crying out on behalf of friends, thanking, worshiping and what I discovered is that even when my world is crashing down and I constantly feel like Job...
HE IS STILL GOOD!!!!!!!
No matter what you are going through the Lord is on the other end. He hears you when you cry out. He sees and feels your broken heart. He provides grace that is sufficient for every circumstance. He gives rest to the weary. He gives HOPE to the dying.
My lonely, weary heart cannot taken much more, but HE is my strength! HE is my comfort! HE is my hope! My God is still Good!
