*1.* “This God—his way is perfect; the word of the Lord proves true; he is a shield for all those who take refuge in him.” *2* “And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.” *3* “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.” *4* “Every word of God proves true; he is a shield to those who take refuge in him. God is not man, that he should lie, or a son of man, that he should change his mind. Has he said, and will he not do it? Or has he spoken, and will he not fulfill it?”
