The goodness of God is beyond our ability to fathom. If we actually tried to enumerate the ways He’s good to us, we would have an endless list. But instead of thinking about the incalculable evidence of His mercies renewed to us every morning, we tick off the things we don’t like and add them to our complaint list.

We may not actually express our complaints to Him in prayer. We maintain a façade of decorum in our relationship with Him, but lurking in our hearts’ bank is our extensive manifest where we’ve deposited and recorded our complaints—and He knows it’s there.

We can’t keep secrets from Him. He knows how we feel when we are trying to seem like we feel fine, that our spiritual lives are well-put-together and there is no barrier between ourselves and Him, but He knows the truth about us. Psalm 31:19 says, “How great is Your goodness that You have stored up for those who fear You…”

His goodness exceeds our ability to understand or to embrace. His goodness attains unto the heavens—the angels rejoice in and marvel at it! And it is not only goodness for today that is ours! No, the Lord Jesus Christ has a vast reservoir of goodness that is stored for us. When we ask mercy of Him tomorrow, He will write the check that will transfer it from His account to ours.
