Goodness Stored and Displayed
Commentators highlight a dual aspect of God's goodness. It is "laid up" or "treasured up" like a secure inheritance for future needs, representing God's eternal promises and grace. It is also "wrought" or actively demonstrated in the present, through tangible acts of deliverance and protection that are seen "before the sons of men." This means you can trust God for both future glory and present help.
