He is good and does good


No matter what season you are in, God is good and does good.

Psalm119:68
"You are good and do good; Teach me Your statutes."

During life moments where you think the time of answer is not drawing near remember that no matter what affliction you are facing God is a good God and He does good. Your phase of waiting is not a time where you sit around eagerly waiting for an answer but a time where you are eagerly seeking the Lord and listening for His instructions with each step you take. Sometimes seasons of waiting are long and very hard, and sometimes they are short, but regardless of the length we must hope in the Lord that His timing is the perfect.

In this particular chapter the psalmist is experiencing great affliction and difficulty yet He is proclaiming and clinging to the fact that God is good, and asking the Lord to teach him HIs statutes.

"It is good for me that I was afflicted, that I may learn Your statutes."(Ps 119:71)

When was the last time that you thanked the Lord for this season of waiting in your life? Are you learning His statues and clinging to His word for hope during this season? Ask Him to teach you His word, and cling to the fact that God is a good God who wants good things for His children.
