0:00.0	Welcome to 10 minute Bible Talks, where we connect the Bible to your life and the time it takes to get to work.
0:11.0	I'm Jensen Holt McNair.
0:12.0	God. to get to work. I'm Jensen Holt McNair. God is good and God is a God who keeps his promises.
0:21.6	Both of these things are true. But there have been times in my life where I've
0:26.8	questioned whether they are. When I faced a long season of loneliness, when our family experienced heart-aaking loss, when I struggled
0:36.2	through postpartum depression and a baby that just wouldn't sleep. I found myself
0:41.4	asking, is God really good? Will he really be faithful to his promises?

1:36.1	this way in the big or the little moments of difficulty, phrases like, God is good,
1:42.3	God is faithful, God keeps his promises, can't always penetrate the self-pity,
1:48.0	the sadness, the fear, the loneliness.
1:51.8	A short phrase feels like a band-aid. I fail to see how that truth can really be true,
1:58.8	when I look around and see difficulty. And I think Luke knew that when he included Chapter 27 in the Book of
2:06.4	Acts. You see, when you read Chapter 27, there are parts of it that don't feel like you're reading from the Bible.
