- my God:
- This pious and noble-minded man attributes every thing to God. If he purposed any good, it was because God put it into his heart; if he did or received any good, it was because the good hand of his God was upon him; if he expected any good, it was because he earnestly prayed God to remember him for good. "Blessedª° [be] the LORDª Godª of our fathers,ª which¹ hath putª° [such a thing] as this¹ in the king'sª heart,ª to beautifyª°¹ the houseª of the LORDª which¹ [is] in Jerusalem:ª" {Ezr 7:27} + "Do goodª° in thy good pleasureª unto¹ Zion:ª buildª° thou the wallsª of Jerusalem.ª" {Psa 51:18} + "Prayª° for the peaceª of Jerusalem:ª they shall prosperª° that loveª° thee." {Psa 122:6} + "But¹ this¹ [shall be] the covenantª that¹ I will makeª° with¹ the houseª of Israel;ª Afterª those¹ days,ª saithª° the LORD,ª I will putª°¹ my lawª in their inward parts,ª and writeª° it in¹ their hearts;ª and will be¹ their God,ª and they¹ shall be¹ my people.ª" {Jer 31:33} + "And I will makeª° an everlastingª covenantª with them, that¹ I will not¹ turn awayª° from¹¹ them,² to do them good;ª°¹ but I will putª° my fearª in their hearts,ª that they shall not¹ departª° from¹¹ me." {Jer 32:40} + "Butª thanksª [be] to God,ª which² putª° the¹ sameª earnest careª intoª the¹ heartª of Titusª forª you.ª" {2Co 8:16} + "Do²° notª err,ª° myª belovedª brethren.ª ... Everyª goodª giftª andª everyª perfectª giftª isª° from above,ª and cometh downª° fromª the¹ Fatherª of lights,ª withª whomª isª° noª variableness,ª neitherª shadowª of turning.ª" {Jms 1:16-17} + "Forª Godª hath putª° inª their²¹ heartsª to fulfilª° his²¹ will,ª andª to agree,ªªª° andª giveª° their²¹ kingdomª unto the¹ beast,ª untilª the¹ wordsª of Godª shall be fulfilled.ª°" {Rev 17:17}
