And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints.
“God is good all the time. All the time God is good.” This phrase has become quite popular these days, along with it the simpler phrase, “God is good.” I do not deny this truth. Certainly, the Bible teaches the goodness of God. But the phrase is sparse in the Bible at best and the sentiment is shallow.
Terms that are more prevalent in the Word of God, and much more substantive are:
- God is just
- God is holy
- God is righteous
- God is true
- God is almighty
While these terms are less sentimental, they are much more meaningful. These are the truths that will get the believer through difficult times. God is good and everything will work together for good to them that love God. But the term, on its own, is insufficient to sustain the weary, oppressed, and hurting.
Let’s consider all that God is. This will help the hurting world make much more sense.
