This is our new series on God’s goodness. Because God is good even if, even when, even still. His goodness is not found in our circumstances, in our pain and loss, or even our joy and triumphs. But, His goodness is found in who He is and what He did for us at the Cross. He is good all the time. He is constant. He never shifts or changes, even if, even when, even still.

Please join us today for our second post in this new series.

And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.
Romans 8:28 (ESV)

There are moments in this world that drive us to our knees; that take us to the edge of the abyss and threaten to hurl us over.

This world is NOT what God intended for us. He created a beautiful, peaceful Garden of Eden; not this. We live in a broken world; filled with sin and sorrow.

It is fallen…

At some point in each of our lives, it will shatter us into a million pieces; casting us away, counting us as worthless. However, as His children, we can be made new. He is our master craftsman.

But now, O Lord, you are our Father;
we are the clay, and you are our potter;
we are all the work of your hand.
Isaiah 64:8 (ESV)

As He presses and builds us anew, we may not look like we did before. We may not function with the same purpose as before. Even though we may be cracked, leaking, partially mended, or entirely refashioned, we are called to be useful. We are loved by our Creator and His work will be completed in us.

How do I know, God is good, even when everything seems bad? Because, I know God is just and sees the tapestry of eternity. When I focus on broken circumstances, I too become broken. When I focus on Him, I am renewed and strengthened. He draws faith out of me.

“Lord, I believe; help me in my unbelief”
Mark 9:24
