We Love God!

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

Prayerful waiting on God is indispensable to effective service. Like the time-out in a football game, it enables us to catch our breath and fix new strategy. As we wait for directions, the Lord frees us from the tyranny of the urgent. He shows us the truth about Himself, ourselves, and our tasks. He impresses on our minds the assignments He want us to undertake. The need itself is not the call; the call must come from the God who knows our limitation. 'The Lord pities those who fear Him. For He knows our frame; He remembers that we are dust' (Psalm 103:13-14). It is not God who loads us until we bend or crack with an ulcer, nervous breakdown, heart attack, or stroke. These come from our inner compulsions coupled with the pressure of circumstances.
Charles Hummel

The Gospel is a message of forgiveness: it could not be otherwise, because it is the Gospel of God, and God is a forgiving God… It is to be expected, then, that those who receive the forgiveness which God holds out in the Gospel, those who call Him their Father, will display something of His character and show a forgiving attitude toward others.
F.F. Bruce

Bible – chinese – 新标点和合本 诗篇 99

99
 神是至高之王
耶和华作王;万民当战抖!
他坐在二基路伯上,地当动摇。
耶和华在锡安为大;
他超乎万民之上。
他们当称赞他大而可畏的名;
他本为圣!
王有能力,喜爱公平,坚立公正,
雅各中施行公平和公义。
你们当尊崇耶和华—我们的 神,
在他脚凳前下拜。
他本为圣!
 
在他的祭司中有摩西亚伦
在求告他名的人中有撒母耳
他们求告耶和华,他就应允他们。
他在云柱中对他们说话;
他们遵守他的法度和他所赐给他们的律例。
 
耶和华—我们的 神啊,你应允他们;
你是赦免他们的 神,
却按他们所行的报应他们。
你们要尊崇耶和华—我们的 神,
在他的圣山下拜,
因为耶和华—我们的 神本为圣!
