29 "Watch and keep them until you weigh them before the leading priests , the Levites and the heads of the fathers' households of Israel at Jerusalem , in the chambers of the house of the Lord ."
Do we expect that God should, by his providence, keep that which belongs to us, let us, by his grace, keep that which belongs to him. Let God's honour and interest be our care; and then we may expect that our lives and comforts will be his.
