Friendship is good, but it may spring from companionship in evil.
Good things may be desired out of bad motives.
Eventually even good leaders leave us.
Where can we find reliable goodness, goodness we can depend upon?
Where else but in you, O God, the hope of all the ends
of the earth and of the farthest seas?
