Some of the first words I learned to pray were, "God is gracious, God is good. Let us thank Him for our food." God is good. Yes, He is. The Psalmist affirms God's goodness yet sometimes we may struggle to see it. God's goodness is behind His eternal plan to reconcile us back to Himself, it assures of His providence in the adventures of life, and is why He continues to mold and shape our lives. He is good - especially when life doesn't make sense.
