Reflection: The Lord is good
There is great security in the simple, but profound truth, that the Lord is good, all the time! When we are in trouble, may we learn to always run to our Heavenly Father for refuge.
In the full counsel of God, we know that he cares for us even when we don’t trust him. Yet he is particularly responsive to our trust and faith in him.
Through all our challenges, may we return to the simple foundational truth that he is good, that he is safe and that he cares. How wonderful is that!
We also know that his forbearance will end and that his judgements will come more fully on the earth. We pray that people and nations will respond to his loving kindness and be spared, if it were possible, his righteous judgement.
We also claim the New Testament promise of grace through the Lord Jesus Christ, who came, was crucified and rose again so that we could be spared judgement through loving sacrifice.
Prayer: Thank you, Lord Jesus, for your gift of grace. For dying on the cross for me. For the peace and rest I find in you because you have promised me a place of refuge whenever I am in need.
