We Love God!

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

No upsurge of religious interest or excitement merits the name of revival if there is no profound sense of sin at its heart. God's coming, and the consequent impact of His Word, makes Christians much more sensitive to sin than they previously were: consciences become tender and a profound humbling takes place. The perverseness, ugliness, uncleanness, and guilt of sin are seen and felt with new vividness.
J.I. Packer

There is no one gift which offers so strong a temptation both to vanity and to pride – as that of public speaking. If the orator really excels, and is successful, he is the immediate spectator of his success, and has not even to wait until he has finished his discourse; for although the decorum of public worship will not allow of audible tokens of applause, it does of visible ones – the look of interest, the tear of penitence or of sympathy, the smile of joy, the deep impression on the mind, the death-like stillness, cannot be concealed – all seem like a tribute of admiration to the presiding spirit of the scene; and then the compliments which are conveyed to his ear, after all the silent plaudits which have reached his eye – are equally calculated to puff him up with pride. No men are more in danger of this sin than the ministers of the Gospel; none should watch more sleeplessly against it.
John Angell James

61:1 Een psalm van David, voor den opperzangmeester, op de Neginoth. (61:2) O God! hoor mijn geschrei, merk op mijn gebed.

61:2 (61:3) Van het einde des lands roep ik tot U als mijn hart overstelpt is; leid mij op een rotssteen, die mij te hoog zou zijn.

61:3 (61:4) Want Gij zijt mij een Toevlucht geweest, een sterke Toren voor den vijand.

61:4 (61:5) Ik zal in Uw hut verkeren in eeuwigheden; ik zal mijn toevlucht nemen in het verborgene Uwer vleugelen. Sela.

61:5 (61:6) Want Gij, o God! hebt gehoord naar mijn geloften; Gij hebt mij gegeven de erfenis dergenen, die Uw Naam vrezen.

61:6 (61:7) Gij zult dagen tot des konings dagen toedoen; zijn jaren zullen zijn als van geslacht tot geslacht;

61:7 (61:8) Hij zal eeuwiglijk voor Gods aangezicht zitten; bereid goedertierenheid en waarheid, dat zij hem behoeden.

61:8 (61:9) Zo zal ik Uw Naam psalmzingen in eeuwigheid; opdat ik mijn geloften betale, dag bij dag.
