We Love God!

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

For the woman: here is your first-date advice. Remember that God wants you to help this man, and he probably needs it! Many men will be awkward and nervous on a first date, so do everything you can to be encouraging and friendly. Dress attractively, appropriately, and modestly (unless you really are hoping to attract a cad). Immodest dress or suggestive conversation is nothing less than an attempt to manipulate his interest. Women who do this incite men to lust and cause them to stumble, while starting the relationship on a very poor footing. Furthermore, do not be demanding or critical and do not complain (remember Prov. 21:9), and speak in a careful and edifying manner. Take an interest in him and get to know things about his life – his family, his work, and his interests. Speak freely about your faith and inquire about his (Richard and Sharon Phillips).

Have you ever noticed that the great saints of the Bible often met with God at daybreak to seek His leading? For example, Abraham got up very early to stand before the Lord (Gen. 19:27). Jacob woke up with the first light of the morning to worship God after having seen a vision of angels in the night (Gen. 28:18). Moses went early to meet the Lord at Sinai (Ex. 34:4). Joshua got an early start when he prepared to capture Jericho (Josh. 6:12). Gideon made his way at dawn to examine the fleece he had placed on the ground to discern Jehovah's will (Jud. 6:38). And… Job left his bed at an early hour to offer sacrifices to the Lord in behalf of his children (Job 1:5).

122:1 Matkalaulu; Daavidin virsi. Minä iloitsin, kun minulle sanottiin: “Menkäämme Herran huoneeseen”.

122:2 Meidän jalkamme saavat seisoa sinun porteissasi, Jerusalem;

122:3 sinä Jerusalem, rakennettu kaupungiksi, johon kokoonnutaan yhteen,

122:4 jonne sukukunnat vaeltavat, Herran sukukunnat, niinkuin Israelille on säädetty, kiittämään Herran nimeä.

122:5 Sillä siellä ovat tuomioistuimet, Daavidin huoneen istuimet.

122:6 Toivottakaa rauhaa Jerusalemille, menestykööt ne, jotka sinua rakastavat.

122:7 Rauha olkoon sinun muuriesi sisällä, olkoon onni sinun linnoissasi.

122:8 Veljieni ja ystävieni tähden minä sanon: olkoon sinulla rauha.

122:9 Herran, meidän Jumalamme, huoneen tähden minä tahdon etsiä sinun parastasi.
