  tempt God are even delivered.

  for them that feared the Lord, and that thought
  upon his name.

• The old story of the stage driver who was so
  profane that the people who traveled with him
  marveled at his profanity when he led such a
  hazardous life. They wondered that he would risk
  blasphemy. They talked of Christ, only to hear
  His name blasphemed. Some People who came to like
  him urged him to become a Christian, but he
  resisted all pleas. At last he came to the end.
  He was dying. They thought that he had gone, when
  suddenly they saw one foot moving and they heard
  him say in a whisper "I am on the down grade and
  I can't find the brake.
• Some day, some day, men and women who have
  resisted God, spurned His love, and trampled it
  beneath their feet, will come to their end and
  they will not be able to find the brake.

  the end, His power must be against you.

  thinking about and what we are doing. What we say
  and do is written, and one day the books will be
  opened.
• He is omnipresent.He is everywhere. . He
  sees you in the darkness of the night and in the
  brightness of the noonday. He is always about
  you. Think of His greatness. He holds the winds
  in the hollow of His hands. He speaks and it is
  done.

• Be not deceived. God is not mocked. For
  whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also
  reap.

  proved by experience. We shall reap if we sow.

  character. Sow a character and you reap a
  destiny. It is written in God's Word that we
  shall reap what we sow.
