  • ïThe race is not to the swift,
    Nor the battle to the strong,
    Nor bread to the wise,
    Nor riches to men of understanding,
    Nor favor to men of skill;
    But time and chance happen to them all.

[God] does not treat us as our sins deserve or repay us according to our iniquities…12 as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us. Psalm 103:10,12
