God is good, all the time.

Genesis 3:1-7

1~Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, "Did God really say, 'you must not eat from any tree in the garden'?"

2~The woman said to the serpent, "We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden,

3~but God did say, 'you must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die.'"

4~"You will not surely die," the serpent said to the women.

5~"For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil."

6~When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it.


7~Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves.


"God is good, till the end of the world; no matter is now or eternity, God is good!"

This line seems become our slogan. Sometimes I am not sure that they are really believe this line or ever think about it.

Some people did suspect, God is really good to me? when God didn't respond or answer their prayer. But don't forget, serpent had did something in Eve's heart and make her suspect God is really good to her or not. Serpent told her (Genesis 3:5) "For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil." We can tell that the serpent wants to persuade Eve that God doesn't want to give them the knowledge.

Think about yourself. Have you ever feel that God didn't answer your prayer? Did you suspect God's kindness? If we really got this kind of thinking, then we must remind ourself immediately, For God so loved the world that He gave his one and only Son, Jesus and He did sacrifice himself on the cross just want to redeemed our sin, this shows His kindness. So we cannot depend on our "feeling" but trust Him more and more, learn to have more faith in Him and say "God is good, For now till the end of the world!"
