Amen! Yes! Absolutely! God is good!

He also does good.

Even when He uses or allows affliction.

I will continue to come back to that in faith.

In that I rest.

Or must, anyway.

Thou hast dealt well with thy servant, O Lord,
according unto thy word.

Before I was afflicted
I went astray….

Thou art good,
and doest good;
teach me thy statutes.

It is good for me
that I have been afflicted;
that I might learn thy statutes.

The law of thy mouth
is better unto me
than thousands of gold and silver.

Psalm 119:65-72

Even now, I want that last statement to be my testimony as well.

Even now, when I truly need thousands of that stuff, I want to be able to say that I treasure God’s Word far more.

Do you have any practical pointers on how to reach that point?

Not as in, “There is no evil.”

But as in, “Fear no evil.”

Like this:

Yea, though I walk
through the valley
of the shadow…
I will fear no evil:
for thou art with me;
thy rod and thy staff
they comfort me.

Psalm 23

Even at my age and with my experience, I still have to work on trust and faith and hope.

Having said that, I believe the Good Shepherd is with me.
