A God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he. (Deut. 32 : 4.) For God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man. (James 1 : 13.) God is the Author of Evil. Out of the mouth of the Most High proceedeth not evil and good? (Lam. 3 : 38.) Thus saith the Lord, Behold I frame evil against you and devise a device against you. (Jer. 18 : 11.) I make peace and create evil. I, the Lord, do all these things. (Is. 45 : 7.) Shall there be evil in a city, and the Lord hath not done it? (Amos 3 : 6.) Therefore I gave them also statutes that were not good, and judgments whereby they should not live. (Ezek. 20 : 25.) God Gives Freely to those who Ask. If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask God, that giveth to all men liberally and upbraideth not, and it shall be given him. (James 1 : 5.) For every one that asketh receiveth, and he that seeketh findeth. (Luke 11 : 10.) God Withholds his Blessings and Prevents their Reception. He hath blinded their eyes and hardened their heart that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them. (John 12 : 40.) For it was of the Lord to harden their hearts, that they should come against Israel in battle, that he might destroy them utterly, and that they might have no favor. (Josh. 11 : 20.) 0 Lord, why hast thou made us to err from thy ways and hardened our heart? (Is. 63 : 17.) God is to be Found by Those who Seek him. Every one that asketh receiveth, and he that seeketh findeth. (Mat. 7 : 8.) Those that seek me early shall find me. (Prov. 8 : 17.) God is Not to be Found by Those who Seek him. Then shall they call upon me but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but shall not find me. (Prov. 1 : 28.) And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you; yea, when ye make many prayers I will not hear. (Is. 1 : 15.) They cried, but there was none to save them; even unto the Lord, but he answered them not. (Ps. 18 : 41.) God is Peaceful. The God of peace. (Rom. 15 : 33.) God is not the author of confusion, but of peace. (1 Cor. 14 : 33.) God is Warlike. The Lord is a man of war. (Ex. 15 : 3.) The Lord of Hosts is his name. (Is. 51 : 15.) Blessed be the Lord, my strength, which teacheth my hands to war and my fingers to fight. (Ps. 144 : 1.) God is Kind, Merciful, and Good. The Lord is very pitiful and of tender mercy. (James 5 : 11.) For he doth not afflict willingly, nor grieve the children of men. (Lam. 3 : 33.) For his mercy endureth forever. (1 Chron. 16 : 34.) I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord God. (Ezek. 18 : 32.) The Lord is good to all, and his tender mercies are over all his works. (Ps. 145 : 9.) Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. (1 Tim. 2 : 4.) God is love. (1 John 4 : 16.) Good and upright is the Lord. (Ps. 25 : 8.)
