Day 2 - God Is Good

Don’t argue.

I don’t know how it happened. But somewhere in my upbringing, I started questioning everything.

I never thought anything of it. I can’t even say I knew when I was doing it.

Maybe it was school. Growing up, I got placed into classes where we were encouraged to problem solve…to ask questions and probe…to hypothesize and perform procedures to find ways to get to the bottom of things.

In fact, I never thought anything of this supposed, argumentative nature until recently when I started hearing a recurring theme as people talked to me.

“You argue a lot.”

Now, to be clear, I find I have only gotten this response from men. 😕 But, I had to think about it in light of the fact that some things. no matter how you question them, can’t be solved.

At least not by oneself.

I mean there are some things we definitely should question (wtw?). Our culture is brazen in everything. it’s probably wise to question all of that.

But, in matters that are beyond our comprehension…maybe it’s just best to zip the lip.

Nope. Now is not the time for me to question and argue on this point in Psalms.

As I sit drawing next to my little person who has already been through a lot today, I know it’s not time to argue. I don’t understand this. I don’t like this…and every praise at this moment is a sacrifice. But I know I can’t problem solve or reason my way out of this one either.

Now is the time to trust, believe and know that God is…and that He is good.

All the time. 🙏🏾

Psalm 145:9 (ESV)

9 The Lord is good to all, and his mercy is over all that he has made.
