We Love God!

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

I…remind you what the true ministry of the Holy Spirit looks like. It’s not chaotic, flashy, and flamboyant (like a circus). It’s usually concealed and inconspicuous (the way fruit develops). We cannot be reminded too often that the Holy Spirit’s primary role is to exalt Christ, especially to elicit praise for Christ from His people. The Spirit does this in a uniquely personal way, first of all by reproving and convicting us - showing us our own sin, opening our eyes to what true righteousness is, and making us sense deeply our accountability to God, the rightful Judge of all (John 16:8–11). The Holy Spirit indwells believers, empowering us to serve and glorify Christ (Rom. 8:9). He leads us and gives us assurance of our salvation (vv. 14–16). He prays for us with groanings too deep for words (v. 26). He seals us, keeping us secure in Christ (2 Cor. 1:22; Eph. 4:30). The Spirit’s daily presence is the source and the secret of our sanctification as He conforms us to the image of Christ.

129:1 ‘n Bedevaartslied. Alreeds te veel het hulle my as vyand behandel van my jeug af- laat Israel dit sê-

129:2 alreeds te veel het hulle my as vyand behandel van my jeug af; tog het hulle my nie oorwin nie.

129:3 Ploeërs het op my rug geploeg; hulle het hul vore lank getrek.

129:4 Die HERE is regverdig: Hy het die toue van die goddelose afgekap.

129:5 Laat hulle beskaamd staan en agteruitwyk, almal wat Sion haat.

129:6 Laat hulle word soos gras op die dakke wat verdor voordat ‘n mens dit uittrek,

129:7 waarmee die maaier sy hand en die gerwebinder sy arm nie vul nie.

129:8 Sodat die wat verbygaan, nie sê nie: Die seën van die HERE oor julle! Ons seën julle in die Naam van die HERE.
