We Love God!

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

What are some characteristics of pride? Thinking more of myself than I do of God. Believing I am better than others. Not being willing to admit weaknesses. Being unteachable. Inability to delegate. Having a primary goal of serving myself. Wanting to lead to receive personal glory. Needing to always be honored and appreciated. Overconfidence. Unsubmissiveness. Worry. Unwillingness to be corrected. Not asking for help. Continually correcting others. Ignoring the spiritual disciplines of prayer, church and Bible. Feeling morally superior to others. Talking more than listening. Refusing to ask for forgiveness. Being overly sensitive.

We have failed to understand that children and young people are not God-lovers until the Spirit changes them. They are dead to God. Our attempts at getting these young people to “pray the prayer” when they were small have not necessarily made them children of God. Their behavior belies the true state of their hearts. God has said that the only hope for them, therefore, is the regenerating work of the Spirit in the context of the preaching of the Word (James 1:18). However, our inadequate view of depravity and the inability of man has led us to resort instead to a greater confidence in entertainment to reach them and a minimizing of the use of the Word. If God has ordained that the Word and the Spirit are the only hope for these kids, then we should not avoid the means God has promised to bless.

36:1 ¶ La transgression du méchant dit, au dedans de mon coeur, qu’il n’y a point de crainte de Dieu devant ses yeux.

36:2 Car il se flatte à ses propres yeux quand son iniquité se présente pour être haïe.

36:3 Les paroles de sa bouche sont iniquité et tromperie; il s’est désisté d’être sage, de faire le bien.

36:4 Il médite la vanité sur son lit; il se tient sur un chemin qui n’est pas bon; il n’a point en horreur le mal.

36:5 ¶ Éternel, ta bonté est dans les cieux, ta fidélité atteint jusqu’aux nues.

36:6 Ta justice est comme de hautes montagnes; tes jugements sont un grand abîme Éternel, tu sauves l’homme et la bête.

36:7 Combien est précieuse ta bonté, ô Dieu! Aussi les fils des hommes se réfugient sous l’ombre de tes ailes.

36:8 Ils seront abondamment rassasiés de la graisse de ta maison, et tu les abreuveras au fleuve de tes délices;

36:9 Car par devers toi est la source de la vie, en ta lumière nous verrons la lumière.

36:10 Continue ta bonté à ceux qui te connaissent, et ta justice à ceux qui sont droits de coeur.

36:11 Que le pied de l’orgueil ne m’atteigne pas, et que la main des méchants ne me chasse pas loin.

36:12 Là sont tombés les ouvriers d’iniquité; ils ont été renversés, et n’ont pu se relever.
