Do You Struggle to See the Goodness of God During Times of Suffering?
"Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the man who trusts in Him!" -Psalm 34:8
If you do, you're not alone. In a world filled with pain and suffering, it's all too easy to miss the evidence of God's goodness all around us. When life is good we see it, but when life is difficult we often choose to focus on the difficulty, rather than His goodness. Yet, God doesn't change; He is faithful and good all the time. So how do we reconcile our conflicting emotions and thoughts?
In Attitude is Everything, pastor and author Erik V. Sahakian opens the door of understanding to reveal it's the choice in the attitudes we embrace that hold the difference between living a life of hope or hopelessness, joy or perpetual sorrow, and living the abundant life that Jesus promised or the pathetic façade the world offers instead. Through the wisdom of God's Word, we see that three choices are key:
- Choosing a heart of thankfulness in the midst of adversity
- Choosing a mindset of joy through seasons of suffering
- Choosing a position of victory in trials and temptation
It's time to get off the roller coaster of emotions and stand firm in the character and person of Jesus Christ. The truth is God isn't good some of the time, He is good all of the time. Which is why choosing the right Attitude is Everything!
