God is Good!

"Oh give thanks to The Lord, for He is good; for His steadfast love endures forever!"  -1 Chronicles 16:34

That word good means just about every "good" word one can bring to mind...

Pleasant
Pleasing
Beneficial
Favorable
Happy
Right
Well
Good for
Delightful
Better
Goodly
Cheer

These are the words listed in the Strong's dictionary as the author appears to struggle to really define/explain the good that is God.  It's almost as if there aren't enough words, and actually, there truly are not!  Our languages, whether Hebrew, English, or any other, will always fall short of really being able to define our God.  The words that we use must be finite because they must speak to and be understood by finite minds, and a finite language can never full explain an infinite Deity.

Jesus did it best when "the Word became flesh," but even Him we "see through a glass darkly."  The veil isn't there because of who He is, but because of who we are.  Someday that veil will be completely removed, and we "will see face to face", and we "will know as we are known."  And we will grow by leaps and bounds in our understanding of the goodness of God.  And, in a way we have yet to experience, we will worship!

Because beyond our wildest dreams, He is good!
