We Love God!

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

Repentance is the hand releasing those filthy objects it had previously clung to so tenaciously. Faith is extending an empty hand to God to receive His gift of grace. Repentance is a godly sorrow for sin. Faith is receiving a sinner's Saviour. Repentance is revulsion of the filth and pollution of sin. Faith is a seeking of cleansing therefrom. Repentance is the sinner covering his mouth and crying, “Unclean, unclean!” Faith is the leper coming to Christ and saying, “Lord, if You will, You can make me clean.”
A.W. Pink

It is required of us that we be tender of the good name of our brethren; where we cannot speak well, we had better say nothing than speak evil; we must not take pleasure in making known the faults of others, divulging things that are secret, merely to expose them, nor in making more of their known faults than really they deserve, and, least of all, in making false stories, and spreading things concerning them of which they are altogether innocent. What is this but to raise the hatred and encourage the persecutions of the world, against those who are engaged in the same interests with ourselves, and therefore with whom we ourselves must stand or fall?
Matthew Henry

129:1 +

129:2 De trængte mig hårdt fra min ungdom – så siger Israel – de trængte mig hårdt fra min Ungdom, men kued mig ikke.

129:3 Plovmænd pløjed min Ryg, trak lange Furer;

129:4 retfærdig er HERREN, han overskar de gudløses Reb.

129:5 Alle, som hader Zion, skal vige med Skam,

129:6 blive som Græs på Tage, der visner, førend det skyder Strå,

129:7 og ikke fylder Høstkarlens Hånd og Opbinderens Favn;

129:8 Folk, som går forbi, siger ikke: “HERRENs Velsignelse over eder! Vi velsigner eder i HERRENs Navn!”
