God is good all the time. Even if we can't see it in our present circumstances. Keep your eyes focused on the Lord and on doing things His way. "All things work together for good" but we don't always see the immediate results of that. Hang on. Don't give up. Jesus said to Peter, "Are you going to leave me also" and Peter responded "Lord, to whom else shall we go, you have the words of eternal life". How true. Sometimes being a Christian is hanging on. Sometimes faith in God means hanging on. Don't give up. He loves you and cares for you and has his eyes on you.
God is good all the time. Lets thank Him in the middle of adversities and challenges. Paul sang praises in prison and the walls literally came down. We praise Him because we love Him and He loves us. We don't praise Him to try to get anything from Him. We praise our Lord because of who He is and we trust Him with His answers to all our prayers and thank Him for His decisions.
Here is what I have learned in the last nine months of my sons cancer treatment. It is easy to praise when things are going good! The real test comes when things sour a little. Can we still praise God then?
