God is Good

As I sat down today to write a new blog entry, I struggled about what to write. I thought about some of the blessings God has bestowed on me: an amazing marriage, a husband who adores the Lord, a family unlike any other, a job, and a new chapter on the horizon. How easy it is for me to say GOD IS GOOD! And then I saw this video of Zac Smith:

The Story of Zac Smith from NewSpring Media on Vimeo.


After watching it I realized again that it is easy for me to say my God is good right now. But am I going to say it if I am diagnosed with cancer? Will I be able to say it if my loved one dies, or when nothing in my life seems right?

Romans 8:28 tells us, “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.”

Yes, our God is good. He is Almighty. He is in control. Although, I do not understand why Zac Smith, a loving father, husband, and disciple of Christ, has cancer, I do understand that God uses all things for his glory. I do understand that our God has a purpose and vision beyond anything we can see. So yes, today I will rejoice, because today is the day the Lord has made. And yes, I will rejoice and worship our Almighty God when darkness falls because it too is the day the Lord has made.

We all have something in our lives that is challenging to us right now - physically, spiritually, mentally, or emotionally. I encourage you to trust God. Trust that He has a bigger purpose and plan. Trust that he made this day. Rejoice and be glad.

“This is the day the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.” Psalm 118:24

  1. Thank you Breanna! This is an awesome post and so timely. Today a lifelong friend, like a second mother to me, is being buried. Her fight with cancer is over and she resides with Jesus forever. No pain will ever over take her again. Thank you for your sweet words!
