His
character is benevolent, and he is worthy of confidence. He is not merely
“good,” but he is equal and just in his dealings with people. This latter
attribute is no less a reason for confidence in his character than the
former. We need a God who is not merely benevolent and kind, but who is just
and faithful; whose administration is based on principles of
truth and
justice, and in whose dealings, therefore, his creatures can repose
unlimited confidence. - Albert Barnes
Receive every day as a resurrection from
death, as a new enjoyment of life;
meet every rising sun with such sentiments of God's goodness, as if you had
seen it, and all things, new-created upon your account: and under the sense
of so great a blessing, let your joyful heart praise and magnify so good and
glorious a Creator. - William Law
In the
midst of judgment he remembers
mercy; and among the most dreadful
denunciations of wrath he mingles promises of mercy. None that trust in him
need be alarmed at these dreadful threatenings; they shall be discriminated
in the day of wrath, for the Lord knoweth them that trust in him. - Adam
Clarke
