We Love God!

God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

Many a man has died from internal bleeding, and yet there has been no wound whatever to be seen by the eye. You may go to hell as well dressed in the garnishings of morality as in the rags of immorality. Unless the very center of your soul and the core of your being be made obedient to the living God, He will not accept you, for He looks not only to your outward condition, but to your heart's secret loyalty or treachery toward Himself.
C.H. Spurgeon

We may work for Christ from morn till night; we may spend much time in Bible study; we may be most earnest and faithful and “acceptable” in our preaching and in our individual dealing, but none of these things can be truly effective unless we are much in prayer. We shall only be full of good works; and not “bearing fruit in every good work” (Col. 1:10). To be little with God in prayer is to be little for God in service. Much secret prayer means much public power. Yet is it not a fact that whilst our organizing is well nigh perfect, our agonizing in prayer is well nigh lost?

THE ANGELIC HYMN

Glory be to God on high, and on earth
peace, good will toward men. We praise
Thee, we bless Thee, we worship Thee, we
glorify Thee, we give thanks to Thee for
Thy great glory, Lord God, heavenly King,
God the Father Almighty.

O Lord, the Only-begotten Son, Jesus
Christ; O Lord God, Lamb of God, Son of
the Father, that takest away the sin of the
world, have mercy upon us. Thou that
takest away the sin of the world, have
mercy upon us. Thou that takest away the
sin of the world, receive our prayer. Thou
that sittest at the right hand of God the
Father, have mercy upon us.

For Thou only art holy; Thou only art
the Lord; Thou only, O Christ, with the
Holy Ghost, art most high in the glory of
God the Father. Amen.
