Psalm 66:16-17 "Come and hear, all ye that fear God, and I will declare what he hath done for my soul. (17) I cried unto him with my mouth, and he was extolled with my tongue."
"Come and hear." David had something to talk about. He
could speak with all clarity and authority. He could sing boldly, "God is
so good! God is so good! God is so good, He's so good to me." Did
you sing that as you read it? "Come and hear." Let me
tell you about my God. Let me tell you what He has done for me. Let me tell you
of His goodness, His mercy, and His grace. Let me tell you how He
delivered me from the paw of the lion and bear. Let me tell you how He directed
the stone to the only spot on Goliath's body that was exposed. "God is so
good, He's so good to me."
Toward the end of his life, David said, "Although my house be not so with
God; yet he hath made with me an everlasting covenant, ordered in all things,
and sure." (2 Samuel 23:5) In other words, David was saying,
"Lord, though I have often failed you, you have NEVER failed me. You have
made a promise that will be for all eternity, even though I'm not worthy."
"God is so good, He's so good to me."
How is it with you this morning? Has God been good to you? Even
though we have not always been as faithful to God as we should be, can you say
with David, "God has ordered His covenant to me. I belong to Him."
"Come and hear." That tells me that I need to be sharing
with others the very goodness of our Lord. Yes, "God is so good. He's so
good to me."
