Episode 3 | Is God Still Good (Naomi)
DESCRIPTION | Speaker: Nana Dolce
Naomi is a woman of great strength amidst great loss. Like Naomi, you may sometimes question if God is still good. Especially when He allows suffering. But here’s a gentle reminder: God’s presence and goodness are never determined by our feelings or circumstances. His intentions are always good, even when it doesn’t feel good.
As you navigate the highs and lows of life, you may feel a lot like Naomi. And just like Naomi, God is present in your grieving and pain. Don’t shy away from processing with God how you are feeling. Someone who walks deeply in the trenches of loss, yet still trusts God’s plan for their life, is someone who still chooses to say God is good.
Additional Resources
- Journal one or two moments where you experienced suffering. In hindsight, where can you see God’s presence and goodness even in the pain?
- Thank God for not being the author of evil in your life, but instead, the One who is healing, redeeming, and restoring what He meant for good.
