What a God is Jehovah! And Jehovah in Jesus, is ours!
耶和华是何等的神！而在耶稣里的耶和华，是属于我们的！
How cheering this fact, and what sweet support it yields to the mind—to meditate on God’s perfections and glorious attributes, seeing them all in Jesus—and in Him, engaged for our present and everlasting welfare!
这个事实多么令人振奋，它给心灵带来何等甜美的支持——默想上帝的完美和荣耀属性，在耶稣里看到这一切——并且在祂里面，为我们现在和永恒的福祉效力！
What could shake our minds, if we did but firmly believe that God’s omnipotence is engaged to defend us to the uttermost?

What could tempt us to commit any known sin, if we were realizing that God’s omniscient eye is ever upon us; yes, that God is present with us, and that He is our sin-hating Father?
如果我们意识到上帝全知的眼目常在我们身上，是的，上帝与我们同在，祂是憎恶罪的父，还有什么能诱使我们犯已知的罪？

What could lead us to think that our prayers would not be answered, nor our petitions be regarded—if our minds were influenced by the assurance that God is truth?
如果我们的心被上帝就是真理的确据所影响，还有什么能让我们认为我们的祷告不会得到应允，我们的祈求不会被重视？
How could we believe that He would ever turn against us, if we rightly viewed His immutability?

Or, how could we think that our affairs could be disordered, if we felt satisfied that His wisdom was working for us at all times!
或者，如果我们确信祂的智慧始终为我们效力，我们怎么会认为我们的事务会变得混乱！
