'The LORD is good to all: and his tender mercies are over all his works" (Psalm 145:9).
Sometimes, because of the things that occur in this world, we do not see The Lord being good to all, but we should.
Even
in the darkest moments in some of our lives, we should be able to see
The Lord's goodness as a pinpoint of light--no matter what happens.
As
tragic as it is to see lives lost--from missing airplanes, to sinking
ferries, to raging storms and those dying from illness and
violence--there is yet hope for those who remain--that pinpoint of
light.
Sometimes,
it is difficult to focus on a pinpoint of light when darkness surrounds
us, but if we focus on how good He is and how He is always with us, we
can overcome--the depths and ravages of the darkness and
rise to see the light and make this world a better place. We must always
be able to see the good and His mercies in all things--no matter how
dark things appear, we have to know that there is a light that will
outshine all the darkness, when we focus on Him.
We
have to know--that He is not a respecter of persons and that His Word
applies to all who receive Him and acknowledge Him for who He is--the
Bright Morning Star, the Rose of Sharon, The Great I Am, The God who
fulfills all His promises, Our Healer and Protector and there is nothing
too hard for Him to accomplish through us, no matter what.
Father,
in the name of Jesus, help us to focus on the Light and not the
darkness. Help us to become the arms and hearts of compassion seeing
need and fulfilling whatever needs to be done for those who are hurting
and devastated by things out of their control. Help us to be selfless in
this time of need and remain prayerful and diligent in accomplishing
all You on our hearts to do, to Your glory.
