Psalm 31:19 - "How great is Your goodness, which You have stored up for those who fear You, which You have wrought for those who take refuge in You, before the sons of men!"
Manufacturers know keeping inventory is expensive. The ideal is throughput, which is "produce as needed" and then ship accordingly, thereby reducing the cost of storage. However, God is limitless in His resources and has boundless supplies of His goodness stockpiled for those who fear the Lord. If we are turning from evil and embracing righteousness, then we fear the Lord and have all of heaven's goodness at our disposal.
Paul tells us in Ephesians 1:3 how God has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places. The qualifier in this verse is "in Christ." Are we in Christ, beloved? The reality is often not dependent on whether we believe it. Sometimes the devil can persuade us differently. However, a growing faith in this regard is mandatory to appropriate all of God's goodness He has stored up on our behalf.
May we know we are rich in His goodness and may we live accordingly. For when we do, we will show others the way to this inestimable treasure!
