Look for the good

Psalms 27:13

“I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.”

Sometimes you have to believe the goodness is there, even if you can’t see it well right now.

Sometimes things aren’t good, and you have to believe the good is coming.

Sometimes things aren’t good, but you have to believe that the Lord IS good, even when life is not.

Sometimes you just have to believe in what you’re not seeing. Either he’s good, or he’s not. Either he’s faithful, or he’s not. Either he’s worthy, or he’s not. Either he is God, or he is not.

Sometimes the good isn’t right in front of your eyes.

It will always be human nature to see the bad first, to see it biggest. But if you’ll look…if you’ll make yourself look hard, you’ll find the good. If you’ll look past what seems to be the end of you, you’ll see the goodness.

There is good coming.

It could be around the next turn in the road.

It could dawn with the morning.

It could be in the next phone call.

It could be in the next moment.

Sometimes you can’t see the good, but you have to believe it’s there, it’s coming, he is faithful that promised.

When you look for the good, you treasure each little ray of sunshine, each smile, each word of kindness.

Because you’re digging deep, and looking for the good.

Don’t give up.

Keep believing.

Good is coming.

God is good, no matter how much life is not.
