The Lord is good

"Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise. Give thanks to Him, bless His name. For the LORD is good; His lovingkindness is everlasting and His faithfulness to all generations."
Psalm 100:4-5

The Lord is good. This is one of the hardest and yet one of the most important truths in Christianity to grasp. Because let's be honest, often the world looks like it's in complete and utter chaos. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to anything. People suffer and people die. What's going on?

The Lord is good. Not only is He good, but He's powerful. He's in control. "The LORD reigns, let the earth rejoice..." (Psalm 97:1) So, what's going on? I don't know.

The Lord is good. This is not religious wishful thinking. This is not a cute saying we teach our children in Sunday school. He really is good. Rest in that and worship.

For Christ,
Daniel
