Contemplating God’s Goodness

I’m sitting in my car next to a reservoir in Howard County. I stopped for a time of prayer. It’s been a miserable sales week. I know God is good and gives good things to His children. I joyfully concur that times like these are used for our growth. As I type this a flock of geese just flew overhead, honking for all to hear. Geese honk as a way of keeping in formation. They depend on the honks of the other geese. It helps keep them from being drawn off course or becoming confused with nearby flocks. Likewise, God has provided His flock, His sheep, with the clarion call of His Word. No matter what may befall us, God’s Word never changes. Through prayer, meditation, and obedience to the Word, we keep ourselves from sin and find comfort for our souls in any circumstance.

We serve a great God who considers His sheep to be of infintely more value than a sparrow, or even geese. He is with us in times of joy and times of sorrow; even in the middle of something as trivial as a bad sales week.

Blessed be the name of the Lord.
