My God is Good.

 My God Is Good

A Reflection on Psalm 34:8, Psalm 100:5, and Nahum 1:7

My God is good—not sometimes, not when the skies are blue,

But always, through the storm and through the trials I go through.

His goodness is not earned by my performance or my prayer;

It flows from who He is—a Father who will always care.

Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in Him. (Psalm 34:8)

Good in the valley, when the shadows stretch so deep.

Good on the mountain, when the promises I keep.

Good in the waiting, when the answer seems delayed.

Good in the harvest, when my cup is overlaid.

My God is good—not just in what He gives or takes away,

But in His very nature, through the night and through the day.

He works all things for good for those who love His name.

His goodness is the anchor that will always stay the same.

For the Lord is good and His love endures forever; His faithfulness continues through all generations. (Psalm 100:5)

So I will sing of His goodness, not because I understand,

But because He holds my future in the hollow of His hand.

My God is good—I've tasted, I have seen.

The Lord, my God, is good—and He is good to me.

The Lord is good, a refuge in times of trouble. He cares for those who trust in Him. (Nahum 1:7)

Amen.
