10.31 Evening:

Do as Thou hast said.

Stablish Thy Word unto Thy servant, who is devoted to Thy fear.. . . So shall I have wherewith to answer him that reproacheth me: for I trust in Thy Word. . . .Remember the Word unto Thy servant, upon which Thou hast caused me to hope.―Thy statutes have been my songs in the house of my pilgrimage. . . .The Law of Thy mouth is better unto me than thousands of gold and silver. . . .For ever, O Lord, Thy Word is settled in Heaven. Thy faithfulness is unto all generations.

God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise the immutability of His counsel, confirmed it by an oath: that by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the Hope set before us: which Hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil; whither the Forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus.

Exceeding great and precious promises.
