The Goodness of the Lord
Psalm 31:19
Oh how great is your goodness, which you have laid up for them that fear you…


I. As A SPECTACLE OF SURPASSING BEAUTY. Creation, providence, redemption, call forth wonder, love, praise.

II. As A TREASURY OF INEXHAUSTIBLE WEALTH. What is seen, may, as it were, be measured; but what is unseen, is boundless. What is a river to the ocean! What is the landscape, that the eye can reach, to the vast unseen realms of the earth! What are the thousand stars that crowd the winter sky, to the millions upon millions that are hid in the depths of space! So with the goodness of God.

III. As A WORK OF INFINITE BENEFICENCE.

(W. Forsyth, M. A.)
