God is good! All the time! We use these words as our call to prayer each day and it is a good reminder for all us. Even when bad things happen God walks with us and is always near us. He has chosen us and loves us all the time. We have seen how God used many situations in the Bible that were bad, and then turned used them for good and to help others know Jesus. What a wonderful reminder of His goodness and love!
