God is good!

And I mean what I say!!! He is good all the time even in the most difficult of circumstances.. and we would realize that fact if we looked with His eyes.


Jesus had confidence in the His Father's goodness even when all was not clear.. John 11 is a perfect example... Most know the "shortest verse" in the Bible... "Jesus wept (John 11:35)".. Do you know the context?


Side note: Weeping and crying are too different actions. When a person weeps he/she is vulnerable.. it is a complete, utter, outward expression of inner feelings. It signals a surrender... (I could talk more abt that buut on to the point.)

The context:
Jesus received news that a friend named Lazarus was sick.

His immediate response was, "This sickness is not to end in death, but for the glory of God, so that the Son of God may be glorified by it." The Son of God knew the plan... God was going to be glorified in this circumstance.


Long story (but an awesome one) short... Jesus waited until Lazarus passed away before going to see him... and then rose Lazarus from the dead... He took the opportunity to show the people to have faith in the Father...

It is said that Everything works for the good of those who love Him... according to His plan.. (Romans 8:28)..the plan: the glorification of God.


Through this whole passage... Jesus stood confidently on the promise of God... He knew that Abba's glory would shine despite the thickness of the clouds.. He had eyes to see that no matter the circumstance... God was in control and there was a purpose..

God is so good and He wants us to know it.. gauge your human eyes... put in the eyes of God... and if its too hard.. if you feel like you just can't do that.. just have faith that everything will be more than okay.. He is in control.. He will be glorified..
