Have you heard the saying:  “God is good all the time, all the time God is good”?  I hear it used off and on to open church related events & meetings.  I have no doubt about this statement either.  God is good all the time, all the time God is good.  In living out life, I just can’t always find the good in what I’m facing at the very moment.  As I even write this I can already see a “why” to some of my dilemma.  I’m going to be doing a short TV interview next Tuesday morning to be aired on Friday, April 15.  This is with KBOI, Channel 2.  April is child abuse prevention month so the host of Idaho Living is doing an interview supporting this topic.  My dilemma yesterday, ALL DAY in my head, was: what do I say in a few minutes that people can hear and do something with it?  I don’t like intangibles.  They stir the emotions but don’t give any tools one can grab a hold of so one can solidly do something with it. This topic is so filled with emotion already, it needs tangible substance. I act as though I know nothing about the scripture telling me not to worry about tomorrow.

In my devotional time this morning I read from the book: Everyday in His Presence by Charles Stanley, the following:  “What are sound biblical principles you can practice as you face the difficulties of your life?”  (5 were given but I want to emphasize 2 of them).

• What is really driving you in this trial–your goals or your devotion to the Lord?
• Trust the Lord so much that the victory already is decided in your mind.  You know your all-powerful, all-wise, perfectly loving Father would never let you down.

Of course I want to give something meaningful/tangible.  God wants me submitted to give what He gives me in response to what He has asked by the interviewer.  I do know from years of experience that God never lets Himself down when we are obedient to His work.  So, what am I fretting about?  Don’t you just hate being so human?  OK, Jesus, I will trust in You.  Help me to do it throughout this day focusing on what you want me to do in this day.  I will leave next Tuesday until I arrive into next Tuesday.

Thanks for being my listener as I process this.  God is good all the time, all the time God is good.
