"Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding."
Proverbs 3:5
He is originally good, good of Himself, which nothing else is;
for all creatures are good only by participation and communication from God.
He is essentially good; not only good, but goodness itself:
the creature’s good is a superadded quality, in God it is His essence.
He is infinitely good; the creature’s good is but a drop,
but in God there is an infinite ocean or gathering together of good.
He is eternally and immutably good, for He cannot be less good than He is;
as there can be no addition made to Him, so no subtraction from Him.
Everything about the structure of our bodies attests the goodness of their Maker.
How suited the bands to perform their allotted work!
How good of the Lord to appoint sleep to refresh the wearied body!
How benevolent His provision to give unto the eyes lids and brows for their protection!
And so we might continue indefinitely.
The goodness of God is seen in the variety of natural pleasures which He has provided for His creatures.
God has not only given us senses, but also that which gratifies them; and this too reveals His goodness.
The earth might have been as fertile as it is without its surface being so delightfully variegated.
Our physical lives could have been sustained without beautiful flowers to regale our eyes,
and exhale sweet perfumes.
We might have walked the fields without our ears being saluted by the music of the birds.
Whence, then, this loveliness, this charm, so freely diffused over the face of nature?
Verily,
"The tender mercies of the Lord are over all His works."
Ps. 145:9
The goodness of God is the life of the believer’s trust.
It is this excellency in God which most appeals to our hearts.
Because His goodness endureth forever, we ought never to be discouraged:
"The Lord is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble,
and He knoweth them that trust in Him."
Nahum 1:7
Amen Everybody!
