God is Still Good

4/15/2016

Wow......... over a year....... and I'm finally back to blogging...

And to kick off the close of the long hiatus, I am joining up with Five Minute Friday (http://katemotaung.com/five-minute-friday/ )  - a five minute free write inspired by one word, which in this instance is: EASY.

So... here goes...

Easy... I wanted to chuckle at that word choice... at the irony.  That has been the farthest thing from reality, and what I have been craving most. 

Seas have been stormy indeed.  I have been tossed about and lost all sight of the shoreline.  There was only wind and waves...

...and God.

However, I was often so distracted by the waves that I missed the One walking on them.

Life has not been easy... but now that the seas have at last started to calm, and light is visible through the clouds, I realize that God was indeed there with me, watching over me, but the storm had to run its course.  And if I had realized it then, I could have found more peace in the midst of it.

Thankfully, God is very patient with me, and is proving again and again that He really is good, and He really does keep His promises, though it may involve painful waiting. 

Life is not always easy, but God is always good.

And it really is true that through the hardest lessons, the most is learned, and strength is forged.

"I am he who will sustain you.
I have made you and I will carry you.
I will sustain you
and I will rescue you."

Isaiah 46:4

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

Visiting from FMF. Sorry things have been difficult lately. I relate to those times when it's easy to focus on the storms and the waves and to miss the fact that God is with us. I'm glad you have known his goodness carrying and sustaining you.
