“Not a sparrow falleth” that He does not know it, and how much more are you of interest than the sparrow? “Every hair of your head is numbered.”
Some men imagine they can get along without the help of God, but they deceive themselves. When they are prosperous they forget Him, but when adversity comes, they turn to Him for succor. Are they ever refused help? Not if asked in the proper spirit. He helps you if you help yourself, and you can not voluntarily lie in a ditch and ask God to help you out. That would be presumption.
By making God a part of your daily lives, taking counsel from Him and leaning upon Him for good qualities, you will be surprised at your success. You do not have to be a bigot, or a ranter; show by your example what you are and upon whom you lean for support.
Do not be shamed to give the Lord as the cause of your success, the greatest men of the earth have always recognized His hand.
Believe in Him faithfully and fully.
To an Atheist who did not believe in God, Napoleon Bonaparte in the height of his power said: “You do not believe in God? Who made the stars?”
The More a Man Gains Wisdom the Nearer He Gets to God
St. Paul says: “Whether ye eat or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.”

“All flesh is grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away.”
