Life is hard but God is good is something I often say when I find myself in a tough time. There is an old song whose title shares my comforting antidote and I often sing it to myself when saddened by an earthly circumstance. During a recent but long season in a very painful valley the words or melody brought me little comfort. God has given me some new songs that I carried to the throne of my King in tears with the hope he would get me through. He did. He is faithful.
This valley has brought me healing and restoration. Unaware to my conscious were deeply hidden fears wrapped in a cocoon of unbelief. This season of intense spiritual warfare was masking the hand of my loving God who knew the root of doubt and also the way to bring it to the surface.
I want to remember that the creator of the universe knows the way that I take and then run down the path with faith. I sometimes forget this amazing truth. But He knows the way that I take;When He has tested me, I shall come forth as gold. Job 23:10
God's timing is perfect and just
Though He slay me, yet will I trust Him. Job 13:15
