Chapter 27: "O How Great His Goodness Is!"

BATHED in the warm light of sunset, a few longtime friends enjoy and outdoor meal together, laughing and talking as they admire the view.  Far away, a farmer looks out a this fields and smiles in satisfaction because dark clouds have gathered and the first drops of rain are falling on thirsty crops.  Elsewhere, a husband and wife are delighted to see their child take his first wobbly steps. 

Whether they know it or not, such people are all benefiting from the same thing-the goodness of Jehovah God. Religious people often repeat the phrase:  "God is good."  The Bible is far more emphatic.  It says:  "O how great his goodness is!"  (Zechariah 9:17)  But it seems that few today really know what those words mean. What does he goodness of Jehovah God actually involve, and how does this quality of God affect each one of us?
