Rh 24. — Because He is omnipotent, trust His help, for He will help thee to overcome difficulty.

25. — Because He alone is wise, depend on Him alone for pure wisdom, and abandon thyself wholly to His guidance.

26. — Because He is omniscient, do not dare to deceive Him by simulation, and beware of secret sin.

27. — Because He is omnipresent, know that in solitude thou art not alone; that the future Judge seeth and heareth all that thou thinkest and doest.

28. — As the omnipresent God loveth to dwell in thy heart, let it be cleansed by thy faith and ruled by His Spirit. Then will He reveal Himself to thee.

29. — Walk ever in the sacred presence of God, constantly remembering his love. Whenever thy thoughts and desires turn from Him, turn them back to Him, even if it is a thousand times in one day.

30. — Never speak the sacred name of God or Jesus except with reverence, and let all careless swearing and cursing be far from thy thoughts.

31. — Never dare to turn passages of Holy Script to idle or laughable use. God will not leave this sacrilege unpunished.

32. — Not only esteem God highly in thy heart for His infinite power, goodness and wisdom, but seek also to express thy esteem in words and deeds.

33. — Employ thy mouth to call for His help in trouble, to praise His love, and to thank Him for all His benefits.

34. — But so shape thy deeds also, that God may be glorified in them.
