God is assurance of 1 paragraph

12:7.5Be­cause God is change­less, there­fore can you de­pend, in all or­di­nary cir­cum­stances, on his do­ing the same thing in the same iden­ti­cal and or­di­nary way. God is the as­sur­ance of sta­bil­ity for all cre­ated things and be­ings. He is God; there­fore he changes not.

let pressure develop 1 paragraph

48:6.35From them you will learn to let pres­sure de­velop sta­bil­ity and cer­tainty; to be faith­ful and earnest and, withal, cheer­ful; to ac­cept chal­lenges with­out com­plaint and to face dif­fi­cul­ties and un­cer­tain­ties with­out fear. They will ask: If you fail, will you rise in­domitably to try anew? If you suc­ceed, will you main­tain a well-bal­anced poise—a sta­bi­lized and spir­i­tu­al­ized at­ti­tude—through­out ev­ery ef­fort in the long strug­gle to break the fet­ters of ma­te­rial in­er­tia, to at­tain the free­dom of spirit ex­is­tence?

not result of inertia; always proportional to divinity 1 paragraph

12:6.1The uni­verse is non­static. Sta­bil­ity is not the re­sult of in­er­tia but rather the prod­uct of bal­anced en­er­gies, co-op­er­a­tive minds, co-or­di­nated mor­ontias, spirit over­con­trol, and per­son­al­ity uni­fi­ca­tion. Sta­bil­ity is wholly and al­ways pro­por­tional to di­vin­ity.
