to Him who is faithful in His promises, and just in His judgments. He who has commanded us not to lie, shall much more Himself not lie ; for nothing is impossible with God, except to lie. 7 Let His faith therefore be stirred up again within us, and let us consider that all things are nigh unto Him. By the word of His might^ He estab- lished all things, and by His word He can over- throw them. "Who shall say unto Him, What hast thou done? or. Who shall resist the power of His strength ?" 9 When and as He pleases He will do all things, and none of the things determined by Him shall pass away.'° All things are open before Him, and nothing can be hidden from His counsel. "The heavens" declare the glory of God, and the firmament showeth His handy-work. Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night showeth knowledge. And there are no words or speeches of which the voices are not heard." '^
