We Love God!

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

I think we delight to praise what we enjoy because the praise not merely expresses but completes the enjoyment; it is its appointed consummation. If it were possible for a created soul fully to “appreciate,” that is, to love and delight in, the worthiest object of all, and simultaneously at every moment to give this delight perfect expression, then that soul would be in supreme blessedness. To praise God fully we must suppose ourselves to be in perfect love with God, drowned in, dissolved by that delight which, far from remaining pent up within ourselves as incommunicable bliss, flows out from us incessantly again in effortless and perfect expression. Our joy is no more separable from the praise in which it liberates and utters itself than the brightness a mirror receives is separable from the brightness it sheds.
C.S. Lewis

Jesus is not indifferent, unconcerned or unable to fulfill His promise. He knows after He returns there will be no opportunity for salvation. His so-called delay “as some count slowness” (2 Pet. 3:9) is a token of His mercy – giving people just a little more time to repent and trust Him. Jesus is being patient for His enemies to come to repentance. It was the same before His judgment with water. “When the patience of God kept waiting in the days of Noah” (1 Pet. 3:20). God is always looking to show mercy to the guilty (cf. Eze. 33:11).

36:1 Zborovođi. Od sluge Jahvina Davida.

36:2 Grešan je naum u srcu zlotvora, straha Božjega nema on pred očima.

36:3 Sam sebi on laska suviše, grijeha svog ne vidi i ne mrzi.

36:4 Riječi usta njegovih prijevara su i zlodjelo, za razumnost i dobro on više ne mari.

36:5 Bezakonje smišlja na postelji svojoj, na opaku ostaje putu, od zla ne odustaje.

36:6 Do neba je, Jahve, dobrota tvoja, do oblaka vjernost tvoja.

36:7 Pravednost je tvoja k’o Božji vrhunci, a sudovi tvoji k’o duboko more: ljude i stoku ti, Jahve, spasavaš.

36:8 Kako li je dragocjena, Bože, dobrota tvoja, pod sjenu krila tvojih ljudi se sklanjaju;

36:9 site se pretilinom Doma tvojega, potocima svojih slasti ti ih napajaš.

36:10 U tebi je izvor životni, tvojom svjetlošću mi svjetlost vidimo.

36:11 Zakrili dobrotom sve koji te štuju i pravednošću svojom sve koji su srca čestita.

36:12 Neka me ne zgazi noga ohola, i ruka grešnika neka me ne goni.

36:13 Gle, padoše koji čine bezakonje: oboreni su da više ne ustanu.
