ALL STORED UP

Psalm 31:19 (NLT)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. 

When my kids were small I would start buying little presents for them ready for birthdays well in advance and would store them hidden away in the cupboard. I expect you may have done the same thing. As the giver we had a lovely sense of expectation of seeing their little faces light up when they saw the surprises on birthday morning. They had had a sense of expectation believing there would be some surprises to open too!

God has made sure we know He has stored up great goodness for us. He wants us to not just know about it, but to have a sense of great expectation of the things He has prepared and to realise He will be lavish in His generosity. We don’t often think of it though, do we? He does say it’s for those who reverence Him and trust Him, and go to Him for protection, but I don’t think that would be difficult do you? He is the ultimate Protector, no one is stronger, more powerful or more tustworthy than our God.😊

Just think, the One who does things on the grand scale, who made the millions of stars, has also prepared some great goodness for you and me! So are you ready for His lavish blessings? Are you expecting them, or are you expecting something quite different? 
The amazing thing is that everyone will get to see what He does for us, it won’t be hidden away but the blessings will be so obvious that God will get all the glory.

What a lovely way to start the week, loving and trusting the Lord, asking Him for His protection and knowing He has great goodness stored up for us in His heavenly cupboard, not just a little bit. 
I can’t wait to see it, can you?😊

Have a great week.x

Someone mentioned the walnut tree I grew from a nut in the ‘Comments’ yesterday so thought I’d let you see it, although it’s a bit hard to see against the hedge background. Thanks for your interest though whoever it was.😊
