We Love God!

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

Just as an indescribable sunset or a breath-taking mountaintop vista evokes a spontaneous response, so we cannot encounter the worthiness of God without the response of worship. If you could see God at this moment, you would so utterly understand how worthy He is of worship that you would instinctively fall on you face and worship Him.
Donald S. Whitney

The gospel says, “Your shame is real, even more real than you know. But this is what God has done. He put it all onto Christ at the cross, where your Substitute was utterly shamed and exposed and condemned for you. Now your shame no longer defines you. What defines you, what reveals your future forever, is this word: ';adorned' [Rev. 21:2]. Not shamed. Adorned. Lovely. Attractive. And the moment is coming when He will look into your eyes with glad adoration, and you will look into His eyes with confident surrender. And nothing will ever, ever spoil it again.”
Ray Ortlund

12:1 (Ein Psalm Davids, vorzusingen, auf acht Saiten.) Hilf, HERR! die Heiligen haben abgenommen, und der Gläubigen ist wenig unter den Menschenkindern.

12:2 Einer redet mit dem andern unnütze Dinge; sie heucheln und lehren aus uneinigem Herzen.

12:3 Der HERR wolle ausrotten alle Heuchelei und die Zunge, die da stolz redet,

12:4 die da sagen: Unsere Zunge soll Oberhand haben, uns gebührt zu reden; wer ist unser HERR?

12:5 Weil denn die Elenden verstört werden und die Armen seufzen, will ich auf, spricht der HERR; ich will Hilfe schaffen dem, der sich darnach sehnt.

12:6 Die Rede des HERRN ist lauter wie durchläutert Silber im irdenen Tiegel, bewähret siebenmal.

12:7 Du, HERR, wollest sie bewahren und uns behüten vor diesem Geschlecht ewiglich!

12:8 Denn es wird allenthalben voll Gottloser, wo solche nichtswürdige Leute unter den Menschen herrschen.
