My goodness

WORDs of Saving Grace - my goodness

Psalms 16:2  O my soul, thou hast said unto the LORD, Thou art my Lord: my goodness extendeth not to thee;

This same theme is repeated over and over throughout the entire Word of God. My goodness cannot even be compared to God's goodness.

Job 32:2  ... against Job was his wrath kindled, because he justified himself rather than God.

Neither is the measured mark of righteousness compared along side of our neighbor, pastor, preacher or friend.

2 Corinthians 10:12  For we dare not make ourselves of the number, or compare ourselves with some that commend themselves: but they measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise.

But the impeccable standard of perfection is by the CROSS of Jesus Christ and His precious Blood alone!

Romans 5:19

For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.

2 Corinthians 5:21

For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

Romans 8:4  That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

Next time we say "my goodness" go ahead and finish and say "extendeth not to thee"!
