God is Good

May your struggles keep you near the cross
And may your troubles show that you need God
And may your battles end the way they should
And may your bad days prove that God is good
And may your whole life prove that God is good

“God is Good” by Jonathan McReynolds

Tuesday was one of those days for me.  Although I love the rain, the grey skies set the tone for the day.  I had one road bump after another.  Have you had days like that?  I wanted to be at home snuggled under a quilt watching the rain instead of going in and out.  As soon as I made it home from a full day at work, I had to go right back out.

COVID-19 restrictions made my unwanted errand even more unpleasant.  The store would not let me inside until they had an associate available to help me.  I stood in the much cooler evening hours and waited my turn.  As I stood outside, Jonathan McReynolds song “God is Good” came to my mind. If you haven’t ever heard it, go give it a listen. It is about three minutes long. I had not listened to it in a while or even thought about it.  As I hummed to myself, the lyrics permeated deep down on the inside of me.

Good music will do that to you.  I suppose it is a good thing that I have been filling up on good old gospel music.  I have other music that I listen to that would not have helped my mindset.  LOL!  I stood out there and thought of how blessed I am.  I found myself getting centered on a cloudy and dreary day.

Now, I have absolutely had much worse days than my day on Tuesday, but the words reminded me that even on ho-hum days God is good.  The associate that assisted me was beyond supportive and offered me help that I was not even aware I needed.  A long day.  A tiring day.  But I came out better in the end.  No matter what the day holds remember that God is good.  #wepreach
