Psalm 31:19 Oh how great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee; which thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee before the sons of men.
The Lord has laid up great goodness for them that fear Him; and He worked that goodness out for them that trust in Him. The goodness of God is greater than we can even fathom. It is higher, deeper, wider, and longer than we can comprehend. But with the help of the Holy Spirit we can believe (fear) it. And we can receive (trust) it by faith in the Gospel.
”But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name [John 1:12].” There is power in fearing, loving, and trusting God above all things. The love and goodness of God is the most powerful force in the world. It has the power to overcome sin, death, the devil, and all evil. We see it in the cross and we hear it in the gospel. The great goodness of God sent his Son to grant us forgiveness of sin, the life of God now, eternal salvation, and daily deliverance. When we fear Him we fear nothing else. When we trust Him and nothing else we receive good things from God because of Christ.
