God's Unfailing Goodness

[Of Special Interest to Young People]

JEANNE ROE PRICE

The train thundered to a stop beside the little station. "Wish me luck," said the boy in the new khaki uniform as he made ready to get aboard. "Wish me luck as I start off into the great unknown."

"I can do more than that," replied his mother. "I can know that there is no 'great unknown' to God; that wherever you are, there God is too; and that 'neither ... things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth,' can separate you from God's unfailing goodness and love."

God's unfailing goodness and love! The Bible abounds in proofs and promises of omnipotent, omnipresent good. Yet from time immemorial men have feared a lack of good, have believed in evil and limitation, in fate or chance, have accepted all too generally injustice and imperfection as their lot. "Just my luck" has ever been a ready reason, or excuse, for both failure, so called, and success.
