Psalm 25

Psalm 25:8
Good and upright is the LORD;
Therefore He instructs sinners in the way.
I like the simplicity of this verse.  By definition, good is what is in God's character.  Therefore, in everything He is good and upright.  He is the source of all things good, and nothing that goes against Him can possibly be good.

If sinners (i.e., all who have ever done anything God would not) are to learn how to do good (i.e., be like God), they have to learn on their own, or be taught.  In order to learn themselves, they would have to have a way to observe God, which is impossible because He is incorporeal.  Therefore, God has to teach them, either directly, or by leaving something that they can learn through.  Simple, right?
