God is good all the time?

 Q - Tito, I'm struggling with "God is good all the time". Is God really good all the time? As in all the time?

A - Define “good”
Q - Someone po who is helpful, understanding and comforting.
A -
You will really struggle if what you mean by "good" is "good/favorable to you or to specific persons/beings."
The constant goodness of God is grounded on God's Natural Law; God's Natural Law is always good: like storms, typhoons, volcanic eruptions, etc. are good. Kailangan ang mga yan to balance/renew/recycle nature. Now such phenomena might NOT be "good" /favorable to some specific people or beings at some specific moments if the effects are unfavorable to them.
But despite all that, God remains good.
For instance:
If a lion eats a deer, is God good ("helpful understanding, comforting" to the lion and not good to the deer? Or is God simply good to the balance and laws of Nature in general?
Para maunawa ang ibig sabihin ng "God is good all the time" ---wag ito i-equate as being personally favorable to specific beings.
