God is Good, God is Faithful

I read those statements today. The author said, " you must believe these two statements are true." You know, it seems simple enough but with those 2 statements doubt definitely creeps into my mind. It seems that there is something I am praying for that seems so hopeless. Every time we sing "Mighty to Save" I think, " yes, my God IS mighty to save." He can save. He is good. He wants the best and He is faithful to His believers.

But it seems that week after week things happen that let me down. When I thought that God was gently working in this situation, a big old set back. This is a big test. I pray for patience. I know that all is in God's time. My head says "God is Good. God is Faithful." My gut cries out - why can't God just do this!

   As for me, I watch expectantly for the Lord: I wait for the god of my salvation. My God has heard me. Don't rejoice over me, my enemy. Though I fall I will rise. Though I dwell in the darkness the Lord is a light for me.  Micah 7: 7-8.

I watch expectantly.That is really exciting. That takes alot of faith - to watch expectantly. That kind of faith only comes through a gift from God  and that is what I desire. I need to ask myself - do I really believe that "God is Good", that "God is faithful" ? I rely on God but He is saying to me - you need to meet me partway with this faith thing. Step out and allow God to work, then He can and He can get the Glory.
