2 Samuel 22:31 As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all them that trust in him. I once experienced a great bereavement, which tested my trust in God's providence beyond any previous trial of my Life. One night I was seated, with my little boy on my knee, mourning over my loss, when my eye rested on a favourite text over the mantelpiece. The eye of the child also turned in the same direction, and, without any request on my part, he read the text aloud: "The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul." As I heard the words from my dear boy's lips, they seemed to sink into my heart with a power they had never done before. To my surprise, the child asked the question, "Papa, what does 'perfect' mean?" My heart was too full to make any reply for a few moments; and before I could break the silence, my little one supplied the answer by saying, "Papa, doesn't it mean that God makes no mistakes?"
