“GOD is a God of order, but not necessarily pledged to that particular form of order by which your quiet and wealth seem to be best secured. He will not be taken into your pay. He will not act as a preventive police for you. God stands neutral in the strife of human selfishness. Those that honor Him, He will honor. He is on the side of those who are on his side, whose hearts and actions are on the side of brotherly kindness, and truth, and holiness.”

“WHEN alone, guard your thoughts; when in the family, guard your temper; when in company, guard your word.”

TRUE trust is always joined with the use of proper means. “Trust in the Lord, and do good.”
