Pastor's Note: Is God Good?
|
|
When you are tempted to doubt God’s goodness, remember God’s mighty acts in your life. When we are tempted as a community of faith to doubt His provision, we recall His provision of the past. Create an inventory of your own Exodus moments so that when the temptation comes to question whether God exists at all, let alone care for you, you will have a track record of the reality of His intervention, His love and faithfulness. It’s time to put it in writing!
