When considering the goodness of God, I must never look first at my circumstances. For I can only "see in a mirror dimly," and I will never perceive God correctly if I judge Him through the lens of my circumstances.
Instead, I must look first at the character of God to clearly see His goodness. Only then will I understand that whether God brings sunshine or rain, still waters or a hurricane, HE IS GOOD!
"For now [I] see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known" (1 Cor. 13:12).
Let God's character always and forever be the lens through which I see the world!
