God Alone is Good
Every once in a while I’m reminded of a special word God spoke to me in 1986. I won’t share it with you here because I’m hoping you’ll visit my guest blog on HopeStreamRadio.com where I’ve shared it (Those of you who’ve already heard the podcast may remember what it was.).
Those words God spoke to me back in 1986 still help me say yes to things I would otherwise have been too afraid to. One occasion was when I recently drove to visit a friend during a snowy week. My dear friend doesn’t know I’d already told God I would never drive out-of-town again during the winter. I’d had a scary incident happen to me a few years ago that nipped my December driving in the brakes. Yet, His still small voice nudged me to trust Him.
I’m glad I trusted (and drove to visit her). It was providential in so many ways… and I managed to miss the first snowstorm by about an hour, and I returned home just before the second snowfall—yes.
Plus I photographed some of my favorite pictures of the year.
Are you curious to find out what God whispered to me?
I’ll place the link at the end of this post.

When I remember good deeds
God has done for me
My heart overflows with joy
And helps me to believe.

What special quote or verse helps you be bold?
“No one is good–except God alone…”
Luke 18:19 NIV
Here’s the link I mentioned: God Alone is Good
My Apple is “Keep on listening!” Thanks,Wendy.
Wise words, dear Rita. <3
If we would remember that God is ALWAYS good, we wouldn’t behave as if God is responsible when things don’t go our way.
So true, dear Linda. We tend to blame Him and then try to claim Him when we’re in need. God can use bad circumstances for good if we believe He is our good God. <3
You always feed me His truth and give me hope! Thank you , dear Wendy!
And you always encourage me, dear Debbie. The word “hope” is hanging in my writing room. <3
It was for my good that I have been humbled; it was so that I could learn your laws. The Word you have spoken means more to me than a fortune in gold and silver. Psalm 119:71-72 My new residence for a while…
Wow, Gracie, my husband and I were talking about this topic today. Psalm 119:71-72 sums it up perfectly. Thank you, dear friend.
So very true…such a beautiful message! God bless!
Thank you, dear Wendell. Christmas Blessings to you & your family.
Such a lovely and true post! 😊😊
Thank you. 🙂 Blessings for 2017 & beyond.
To you too 😊😄😄
So very honest and nice you’re telling about your fears and experiences. Some things definitely take courage and it takes strength to overcome our fears. It’s good the God is on your side, so you have somebody who you can trust and rely on even when nobody else is around you.
Merry, warm, wonderful Christmas to you and your family! Blessings, health, abundance and creative success in 2017!
Thank you, dear Inese. <3 I love how God is always with us no matter where we are. Blessings of His abundance to you too in 2017. Merry Christmas!
