Rev. Selwyn Hughes asks, "What is the underlying theory of your heart about God's nature?". Is is that God is Holy, God is all powerful or sovereign or God is love or is it that God is good? Though all these attributes are true about God, the basic attribute which we hold deep down in our heart constitutes the basis of our faith.
People of God who believe that God is good, are the ones who face even the adverse conditions of their life without bitterness. Otherwise adverse or unfavorable life circumstances are handled with frustration, bitterness, hatred, resentments, self pity and even despair. Only when we believe deep down in our hearts that our God is good and He knows how to deal with our lives, will the basis of our faith be set right. And whatever be the situation, we will be able to sing...
'God is good, we sing and shout it
God is good, we celebrate it
God is good, no more we doubt it,
God is good, we know its true"
1 Chronicles 16:34 (New International Version)
Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good;
his love endures forever.
