When my brother-in-law was a missionary in Mali, West Africa, he was involved in a traffic accident. A man had wandered into the road in front of Chucks motorcycle. The cycle struck the man and sent Chuck and the bike sliding along the ground for more than 200 feet. Shortly after Chuck regained consciousness in the hospital, his doctor told him he had been really lucky. Chuck smiled and replied, God is good. Later he thought about the days events. The man who was struck hadnt received any permanent injuries, and Chuck would also recover from his injuries. But what if one of them had been killed? He thought, God would be no less good. When we experience tragedy, we may wonder about Gods goodness. Is God always good? Yes, He is. He doesnt promise that bad things will never happen to us, but He does promise to be our refuge and strength (Ps. 46:1). He doesnt promise that we will never walk through heart-wrenching circumstances, but He promises that we wont be alone (23:4). God is good—no matter what suffering we are experiencing. Even when we dont understand, we can say with Habakkuk, Yet will I rejoice in the Lord, I will joy in the God of my salvation (3:18). — Cindy Hess Kasper O taste and see that God is good To all who seek His face; Yea, blest the one who trusts in Him, Confiding in His grace. —Psalter God tests our faith so that we may trust His faithfulness.
