We Love God!

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

Our salvation is a miraculous intervention of God. Evangelism is all about miracles. We pray asking God to change the human will, or to override and arrange the natural course of things in certain ways, or to defy all odds.
Jim Elliff

Benefits of delighting ourselves in God: 1. Delight in God will prove that you know Him and love Him and that you are prepared for His kingdom, for all who truly delight in Him shall enjoy Him. 2. Prosperity, which is merely the small addition of earthly things, will not easily corrupt you or transport you. 3. Adversity, that is, the withholding of earthly delights, will not much grieve you or easily deject you. 4. You will receive more profit from a sermon or good book or conversation you delight in, than other people, who don’t delight in them, will receive from many such opportunities. 5. All your service will be sweet to yourself and acceptable to God; if you delight in Him, He certainly delights in you (Psalm 149:4; 147:11; 1 Chronicles 29:17). 6. He will have a continual feast with you, to sweeten all the crosses of your life and provide you with joy greater than your sorrow in your saddest condition. 7. When you delight in God, your created pleasures will be sanctified to you and warranted in their proper place, which in other people are idolatrous or corrupt.
Richard Baxter

132:1 ‘n Bedevaartslied. o HERE, dink aan Dawid, aan al sy moeite;

132:2 dat hy aan die HERE gesweer het, hierdie gelofte gedoen het aan die Magtige van Jakob:

132:3 Sekerlik sal ek nie ingaan in die tent van my woning of klim op die bed wat vir my gesprei is nie;

132:4 sekerlik sal ek my oë geen slaap gun, aan my ooglede geen sluimering nie,

132:5 totdat ek ‘n plek vind vir die HERE, ‘n woning vir die Magtige van Jakob!

132:6 Kyk, ons het daarvan gehoor in Éfrata; ons het dit gevind in die velde van Jaär.

132:7 Laat ons na sy woning gaan, ons neerbuig voor die voetbank van sy voete.

132:8 Staan op na u rusplek, HERE, U en die ark van u sterkte!

132:9 Laat u priesters bekleed wees met geregtigheid, en laat u gunsgenote jubel.

132:10 Wys u gesalfde nie af nie, ter wille van Dawid, u kneg.

132:11 Die HERE het aan Dawid gesweer in waarheid (Hy sal daarvan nie terugkom nie): Van die vrug van jou liggaam sal Ek laat sit op jou troon.

132:12 As jou seuns my verbond hou en my getuienisse wat Ek hulle leer, dan sal húlle seuns ook vir ewig op jou troon sit.

132:13 Want die HERE het Sion uitgekies, Hy het dit as woonplek vir Hom begeer en gesê:

132:14 Dit is my rusplek vir ewig; hier wil Ek woon, want Ek het dit begeer.

132:15 Sy voedsel sal Ek ryklik seën, sy behoeftiges versadig met brood;

132:16 en sy priesters sal Ek met heil beklee, en sy gunsgenote sal vrolik jubel.

132:17 Daar sal Ek vir Dawid ‘n horing laat uitspruit; Ek het vir my gesalfde ‘n lamp toeberei.

132:18 Ek sal sy vyande met skaamte beklee, maar op hom sal sy kroon skitter.
