GOD IS GOOD; BUT SOMETIMES I WONDER

GOD IS GOOD; BUT SOMETIMES I WONDER
By Ken Blue
(Read Psa. 73)

“God is good to all who walk upright”, but this truth was not confirmed in my sight.
The wicked prosper; their strength is firm; while the righteous suffer lives infirmed.

They have no fear of the judgment time; pride adorns them, while mocking the Divine.
“There is no knowledge in the most High”, boast the rich, ill prepared to die.

“Is God really good?” a voice asks of me; have I cleansed my hands in vanity?
I’m plagued every day, morning till night; still they prosper, while not doing right.

I turned to God and the Bible in prayer; He opened my eyes, the truth was there.
Judgment awaits their wicked schemes; and earthly pursuits are only a dream.

He was always with me, holding my hand; guiding by grace, wherein I now stand.
None in heaven or earth I desire; await Your call to come up higher.

God is good! There’s no mystery now, my affections were misplaced, and here is how.
I envied the rich and their ease of life; and brooded through my days of strife.

God is indeed good! Let us draw nigh; reading His Word and His name glorify.
God is good to the just and unjust; walking by faith, His wisdom I’ll trust.

The first shall be last in earthly quest; all will vanish in their moment of death.
God is good, there’s no wondering now; He works His plan, His Word explains how.

    I remember when you would tell us at church to read our Bibles and even when we do read- pray as we go- get on our knees and read and pray. I am so glad for preachers pointing us to READ THAT BOOK and so happy to really know God is so Good!

    Sometimes I wonder if God is really good. When these thoughts creep into my mind, I just stop and remember how many times He reserved His wrath upon Isreal for all the horrible things that they did. All they had to do was cry out to Him and He would work His miracles and save them again. (Mercy)
    God hasn’t changed a bit. It is only my own weaknesses that I doubt His goodness. Good doen’t mean without pain, without problems, without money, without health. That is when I’m focusing on my own comforts. Good is a God that sacrificed all that he had to make a way for me to spend eternity with the loving God that created me. That is the real meaning of a GOOD GOD. Sooooooo, God is good and it is so good to know Him. Thank you pastor for a poem to remind me of God’s true goodness always.
