Patience.....God is good! rob bell nooma 5 kickball

Do I truly believe in the goodness of God? Can He really know what is best for me? We pick an item out in the mall that we really, really, really want and God does not have that item in mind for me. God is telling me you do not want that, it will not be good. God already has something in mind for me that is way better but I do not want to wait for it. I want it now, I want it now, God is begging and pleading with me that it is not good for you, it is not good. We live in a society that we live for the cheap pleasures in life, if it will give us joy now the long term effects do not matter. Our society in general is impatient, God want's to teach us patience because it is important in a relationship with Him. If it was not important patience would not be one of the fruits of the spirit. God has a plan, the perfect plan of God. God is so good, but we need to remember that when God is not giving us the one thing we really want. God is good, oh so good. He loves us so much, but sometimes we do not think he does? The goodness of Our God is so great words can not describe it.
