When things aren’t good, God is good, and he brings good out of all things.
When you think about God, what comes to mind? Distant? Disinterested? Judgmental? Unfortunately, the picture we have of God in our minds is sometimes one of a God we’d rather ignore. But we can be assured that this picture of God is far from the truth! Throughout scripture, we see God’s goodness—notably, in Romans 8:28 In all things, God works for the good of those who love him. At times this feels far from true; it even seems like a trite cliché. Even so, when things aren’t good, God is good. And he brings good out of all things.
