Taste
and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in Him.
- Psalm 34:8 (NIV)
Bad things happen to good people.
It doesn’t matter if you sit in church every Sunday, sing in the choir, or attend every small group during the week. It doesn’t matter if you volunteer for nonprofits, spend your life helping others, or try your best to make the world a better place.
Life doesn’t hand out exemptions from heartbreak.
Whether you’re quietly faithful or boldly outspoken about your beliefs, the truth remains the same — our world can turn upside down in a matter of seconds.
I haven’t had the easiest life. There have been seasons marked by deep heartbreak and difficult circumstances. Some came from my own choices. Others arrived through situations completely outside my control.
Pain doesn’t always come with explanations.
And when life hurts, it can be tempting to question God’s goodness. We may wonder why He allowed something to happen, why prayers seemed unanswered, or why healing didn’t come the way we hoped.
But I’ve learned something through the hardest seasons:
God’s goodness is not measured by whether life goes smoothly.
It is measured by His presence in the middle of it.
Psalm 34:8 invites us to taste and see that the Lord is good. Not just when life is easy. Not just when prayers are answered quickly. But even when the road feels heavy and uncertain.
Because while circumstances may shift, God’s character does not.
I may not understand every heartbreak, but I know this — I have never walked through pain alone.
God has always been there.
