Just Decide Once And For All That God Is Good

Psalms 145:9, “The LORD is good to all: and his tender mercies are over all his works.”

1st Corinthians 1:9, “God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.”

1st Peter 5:7, “Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.”

I decided a long time ago that I wasn't going to put God on trial for the problems and loneliness in my life after my wife cruelly abandoned me in 2006. God didn't do that to me! I decided that I am not going to place God on trial every time bad things happen to me, every time some wicked pastor kicks me out of church, again. God didn't do that to me!

The $64,000 question dear reader is: Do you believe that the King James Bible is inspired by God? If you do, then you must concede that God is good, faithful and that He cares. When I get down on myself and frustrated with life, which we all do at times if we're honest, I always remember that I decided long ago that God is good, faithful and that He cares. I refuse to place God on trial in my mind.

I'll be the first to admit that God never seems to answer my prayers. I told the LORD years ago that I would always tell the truth. I won't cover for God. I am not saying that God has never answered any of my prayers. I am saying that it “seems” that God never does. There's a big difference! I read in a book something that Dr. Curtis Hutson (1934-1995) said which I have never forgotten. He said that if we could see all that God sees, we would never again question why the LORD answers our prayers the way that He does. I agree with that!

The Holy Bible gives us a clue from Jesus' Words in Luke 18:1, “And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint.” And then Jesus tells the parable of The Unjust Judge who ignored the widow because he simply didn't care. But God ignores our prayers because He does care, because our IMPORTUNITY pleases God. Faith pleases God (Hebrews 11:6). Importunity requires a greater faith!

Dear reader, just settle it once and for all that God is good, faithful and He cares.
