We are commanded in Romans 11:22 to “behold” (NASB), “consider” (NKJV), “note” (ESV) the “goodness of God.” So, in just a few lines, let’s see how much we can behold.
The very nature of God is “good” (Psa. 25:8; 34:8; 100:5; 118:1). He “is good” and He “does good” (Psa. 119:68; Acts 14:17). There is “no one good but God” (Matt. 19:17). “The name” of the Lord is “good” (Psa. 54:6). His “mercy is good” (Psa. 109:21). His “judgments are good” (Psa. 119:39). His word is “good” (Heb. 6:5) and given “for our good always” (Deut. 6:24). His “salvation” is “good” (Psa. 96:2; Rom. 10:15).
“The Lord is good to all” (Psa. 145:9). “The Lord will give what is good” (Psa. 85:12) and “give good things to those who ask Him” (Matt. 7:11). He “satisfies your mouth with good” (Psa. 103:5), for “every good gift” is from God (Jas. 1:17). “No good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly” (Psa. 84:11). “All things work together for good” for God’s faithful children (Rom. 8:28). “Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good!” (Psa. 106:1; 107:1; 118:1; 136:1)!
