God Is So Good

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, when I was music minister in churches in Orlando, Albuquerque and Seattle, we sang a song.  It was a simple song.  So simple, in fact, that one might be inclined to skip over it because it is so simple. 

And the song is this …

God is so good
God is so good
God is so good
He’s so good to me

I have to stop and allow my heart to calm down a bit when I think these kinds of thoughts.  You see, I believe what I just wrote and what I just sang in my heart. 

In my sixty-seven years of living on this earth I know one thing … God is good to me.

He has seen me through the thick and thin of life. 
In want, He has been good.
In plenty, He has been good.
In health, He has been good.
In sickness, He has been good.

As time went on, I would make up other verses for this tune.

He answers prayer … He’s so good to me.
Did I ever tell you about the time God sent me $3000?  That was an answer to prayer.

He loves me so … He’s so good to me
When I’ve had moments and feelings of aloneness, I have felt his love and closeness.
When my parents died, I felt His love and comfort.

A huge part of my concept of God is this … He is a good God.  He cares for His children … all of us!

And He is a presence in our time of need.

Psalm 46:1 says



This I know, for I have lived it and experienced it.

God IS so good … He’s so good to me.

Let Him be this kind of reality in your life today.  Invite Him in.

Say the words … He will do the rest.
