Today’s Random Thought: When It Doesn’t Go Like You Want, Is God Still Good?

We all see prayer requests on Facebook and other social media. And when things turn out well, there are invariably comments such as, “God is Good!”  It heavily implies that God is only good when He averts the disaster.  Is He less good when He does not avert the disaster?  When things do not go as hoped for, I’d love to see someone acknowledge that God is still good… and He’s especially good when the bottom falls out of life.  He upholds, He comforts, He provides.  You have a much better idea of just how good God is when things don’t go well.
