We Love God!

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

Can we pray for justice, and yet love our enemy at the same time? The answer is yes…We will magnify the mercy of God by praying for our enemies to be saved and reconciled to God. At the personal level we will be willing to suffer for their everlasting good, and we will give them food and drink. We will put away malicious hatred and private vengeance. But at the public level we will also magnify the justice of God by praying and working for justice to be done on earth, if necessary through wise and measured force from God-ordained authority.
John Piper

It is at the cross where God’s Law and God’s grace are both most brilliantly displayed, where His justice and His mercy are both glorified. But it is also at the cross where we are most humbled. It is at the cross where we admit to God and to ourselves that there is absolutely nothing we can do to earn or merit our salvation.

26:1 Daavidin virsi. Auta minut oikeuteeni, Herra, sillä minä olen vaeltanut nuhteettomasti ja turvaan horjumatta Herraan.

26:2 Tutki minua, Herra, ja pane minut koetukselle, koettele minun munaskuuni ja sydämeni.

26:3 Sillä sinun armosi on minun silmäini edessä, ja minä olen vaeltanut sinun totuudessasi.

26:4 En minä istu valheen miesten seurassa enkä kulje salakavalain kanssa.

26:5 Minä vihaan pahojen seuraa enkä istu jumalattomien parissa.

26:6 Minä pesen käteni viattomuudessa, ja astun kulkueessa sinun alttarisi ympäri, Herra,

26:7 antaakseni kuulua kiitokseni äänen ja julistaakseni kaikkia sinun ihmeitäsi.

26:8 Herra, minä rakastan sinun huonettasi, sinun asuinsijaasi, sitä paikkaa, jossa sinun kirkkautesi asuu.

26:9 Älä tempaa pois minun sieluani syntisten kanssa äläkä minun henkeäni verenvuodattajain kanssa,

26:10 joiden käsiä ilkityö tahraa, joiden oikea käsi on lahjuksia täynnä.

26:11 Mutta minä vaellan nuhteettomasti; vapahda minut ja ole minulle armollinen.

26:12 Minun jalkani seisoo tasaisella maalla; seurakunnan kokouksissa minä kiitän Herraa.
