(2, 10, 22, 42, 43, 44, 49, 74, 79, and 88). Psalm 73 also comes to mind, where Asaph does not understand until he enters worship: <BR/><BR/>But when I thought how to understand this, it seemed to me a wearisome task, until I went into the sanctuary of God; then I discerned their end. (73:17)<BR/><BR/>Worship is our declaration that God is good, even when circumstances block our vision of his goodness.Laura Springerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10920102860381840156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8009936.post-59830811072708109402007-12-21T10:05:00.000-08:002007-12-21T10:05:00.000-08:00I think what confuses matters is that God's defini...I think what confuses matters is that God's definition of "good" very often differs from our own. We usually define it in terms of comfort, happiness, not challenge and growth. Its a very big subject and your assertion that "God is good" is true, even when we suffer.Gerry Hatrićhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06172504526073441190noreply@blogger.com
