The last few days have been a few of those days! The kind of days when I forget.
When the mountains before me seem so huge, and my faith just feels so small…
I forget that my God is a good God.
When the cares and concerns in my heart feel like they will consume me…
I forget that my God is a good God.
When the road ahead looks like it is filled with too many bumps, so much more than I can handle…
I forget that my God is a good God.
When my heart is aching to be with the ones I love so far away…
I forget that my God is a good God.
When I wonder if God will ever come through for me…
I forget that my God is a good God.
When I close my eyes and see dreams and desires that I wonder if He will fulfill…
I forget that my God is a good God.
When the stress of trying to sell our home takes over every fiber of my being…
I forget that my God is a good God.
When my heart is broken in two for a little one who will surely die if she is not adopted..
I forget that my God is a good God.
How forgetful I can be. I have taken my eyes off the ONE who knows every care, every concern and every burden in my heart. Today I am reminded [once again] that He IS a good God. His Word reminds me of the signs and wonders He performed. The miracles He performed for His chosen people over and over again. Is He not the same yesterday, today and forever? Is He not able to carry every burden in my life, every care that weighs me down? Is He not the Almighty Father, the everlasting God?
He was, is, and always will be a good God. He never changes, He stays the same–a good God. My faithful Jesus.
Forgive me, Father, for my doubt and unbelief. Forgive me for having little faith, when I KNOW that you are good. You have never let me down–ever. Draw me nearer so that I may never, ever forget.

**** Our God–He IS in the business of miracles. Thank you so much for praying for Dw after my previous post. God did an amazing thing. Overnight Dwight’s liver numbers came down (after being told just yesterday that he would be in the hospital for several days), and he was discharged from hospital today. As I type, Linny is driving him home. Yes, indeed–miracles for today.
