Is God always good? Yes, God is always good. We experience his goodness when we see how he saves us by grace. But sometimes, when life is hard and it seems that the Lord is far away, we lose that loving feeling. In the psalms that temptation is also mentioned. The psalms are so realistic. For example, read Psalm 73:1–28. It begins with the confession that the Lord is good. But, just as Psalm 73:2 points out, it can be hard to confess God’s goodness when you only experience difficult things.
8 Oh, taste and see that the LORD is good! Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him!
