I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak comfortably unto her. - As a man chasteneth his son, so the LORD thy God chasteneth thee. - Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby. - Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time.

All things come of thee, and of thine own have we given thee. For we are strangers before thee, and sojourners, as were all our fathers: our days on the earth are as a shadow, and there is none abiding. O LORD our God, all this store...cometh of thine hand, and is all thine own. - Of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen. The living God...giveth us richly all things to enjoy. - Every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving: for it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.

The 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith Of Lawful Oaths and Vows Chapter 23 PARAGRAPH 3 Whosoever takes an oath warranted by the word of God, ought duly to consider the weightiness of so solemn an act, and therein to avouch nothing but what he knows to be truth; for that by rash, false, and vain oaths, the Lord is provoked, and for them this land mourns.6 6 Lev. 19:12; Jer. 23:10 Robert Murray M'Cheyne - God Makes A Path - Daily Devotional Readings Confidence in God Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. Romans 8 v 37 The world often comes against us like armed men; but, if God be for us, who can be against us'. 'The people shall be like bread.' It is as easy to overcome all opposition when God is with us, as for a hungry man to eat bread. It was God that girded Cyrus, though he did not know him. So he does still: worldly men are a rod in God's hand. God puts it this way or that way, to fulfil all His pleasure; and when He has done with it, He will break it in pieces, and cast it into the fire. 'So fear not them that kill the body, and after that, have no more that they can do.' Oh! if you would live by faith, you might live a happy life!
