You are good, LORD. - Psalm 25:7 NCV
My daughter and I recently moved to a new apartment. New setup, new neighborhood, new fixture arrangement, and new skills to learn, such as how to convert an old faucet to a double tap faucet so I can plug in my washing machine hose. I can call my father who lives three kilometers away to help, but I am convinced (and assumed) that it will be a simple task. However, it did not turn out to be as simple as I had anticipated. I even bruised my palm when the pipe wrench slipped into my hand.
It was getting frustrated, but I got back up and reminded myself that through Him who strengthens me, I can accomplish everything. I was winding more thread seal tape around the faucet connector, praying to God to tell me when it was time to stop winding, when the tape abruptly broke. I felt it was God telling me the tape I put was already enough. So I gave it another shot, and the faucet’s angle was flawless this time. I tested the faucet by turning on the main water line valve and everything was in order!
The Lord is good. That is who He is.
Even in the smallest things we thought we could handle on our own, he will always be there to assist us. It’s humbling to realize that even mundane situations can serve as a testimony to God’s goodness.
The goodness of God will follow us, always.
