It’s all good
As far as I can tell, the phrase “It’s all good” has been around for over a decade. It was first used in music, but is now used everywhere. Hollywood stars use it to deflect questions about their divorce by saying, “It’s all good!”
Teenagers use it when they don’t really want to talk about something with their parents, as in: Father: “How’s Algebra going?” Daughter: “It’s all good.”
And hip middle class folks use it to change the subject when they have nothing more to say on a topic as in, Question: “How about the Lions.” Answer: “It’s all good … How about those Tigers!”
The truth is that when one says “It’s all good” it is usually a sign that something really isn’t all that good at all. So much in this life that we would like to think is good turns out to be empty or fraudulent. Things and people let us down, or we let ourselves down, and so we shrug our shoulders saying, “It’s all good” but it isn’t.
Jesus says, “It will be good for those servants whose master finds them watching when he comes.” A verse later Jesus repeats himself saying, “It will be good for those servants whose master finds them ready, even if he comes in the second or third watch of the night.” (Luke 12:37-38)
Will it be good for you?
