Psalm 31:19 Oh, how great is Your goodness, which You have laid up for those who fear You, which You have prepared for those who trust in You in the presence of the sons of men. (Nkjv)
If you like home made chutney then you'll like what I've been doing for the past couple of weeks. We've been out in the countryside picking blackberries and finding windfall apples and I've made loads of jars of Apple, Date and Sultana Chutney. Not content with that, I've engraved pretty pictures on the glass jars and painted their lids to make them more special because some will be for presents at Christmas when they've matured. I've prepared my goodies ready to give some away.😊
In the same way only on a different scale altogether, God has prepared and stored up for us something special, His great goodness, for those of us who are trusting in Him. The New Living Translation says How great is the goodness you have stored up for those who fear you. You lavish it on those who come to you for protection, blessing them before the watching world.
Isn't that a wonderful thought? God is not stingy with us. He has things stored up for us that will blow our socks off and He wants us to have a picture of that in our minds so we can have something lovely to hope for. He says He's going to bless us so much the watching world will notice which means it’s in this life! It must be something good!😊
So be encouraged and keep looking up and trusting our good God. He has great and good things coming. Thank You Lord.
And here's some of my chutney!😊
