We Love God!

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

It is Christ who is to be exalted, not our feelings. We will know Him by obedience, not by emotions. Our love will be shown by obedience, not by how good we feel about God at a given moment. “And love means following the commands of God.” “Do you love Me?” Jesus asked Peter. “Feed My lambs.” He was not asking, “How do you feel about Me?” for love is not a feeling. He was asking for action.
Elisabeth Elliot

8:1 ¶ Kònen klewon an! Malè ap fonn sou peyi Bondye a tankou malfini, paske moun yo pa kenbe kontra mwen te pase ak yo a. Yo vire kont sa mwen te moutre yo a.

8:2 Ou mèt tande yo di m’: Ou se Bondye nou. Nou menm, moun Izrayèl, nou konnen ki moun ou ye!

8:3 yo pa vle wè sa ki bon. Se poutèt sa lènmi gen pou leve dèyè yo.

8:4 Yo rete yo chwazi wa mete alatèt yo, san mande m’ si mwen dakò. Yo mete moun chèf san m’ pa janm konnen. Yo pran lò ak ajan yo genyen, yo fè zidòl. Se sa k’ap fini ak yo a.

8:5 Mwen pa ka sipòte estati towo bèf moun Samari yo ap adore a. Se konsa mwen fè kòlè, mwen fache anpil sou yo. Kilè y’a sispann sèvi zidòl?

8:6 Se yon atizan peyi Izrayèl ki te fè zidòl la. Zidòl sa a, se pa ka yon bondye li ye. Estati towo bèf moun Samari yo, m’ap kraze l’ an miyèt moso.

8:7 Depi pèp la simen van, se move tan pou yo rekòlte. Yo tankou yon jaden ble ki pa jete grap, ki p’ap bay farin. Menm si li bay farin, se moun lòt nasyon k’ap vin manje tout.

8:8 ¶ Pèp Izrayèl la fini nèt. Nan je lòt nasyon yo, li tankou yon vye kannari kraze ki pa vo anyen.

8:9 Tankou yon bourik endont, moun Efrayim yo ap fè sa yo pito. Yo moute peyi Lasiri al mande konkou. Tankou fanm k’ap achte gason, yo bay lòt nasyon lajan pou pwoteje yo.

8:10 Atout yo bay lòt nasyon yo kado, koulye a mwen pral mete yo tout nan menm sak pou m’ pini yo. Talè konsa, yo pral nan lapenn lè wa Lasiri a va pran peze yo tout.

8:11 Atout moun Efrayim yo bati lotèl toupatou pou wete peche, se menm lotèl sa yo ki fè yo tonbe pi rèd nan peche.

8:12 Atout m’ ekri pou yo anpil regleman sou lalwa mwen ba yo a, yo pran regleman yo pou bagay ki pa pou yo.

8:13 Yo renmen fè ofrann bèt. Yo touye bèt yo ofri yo epi yo manje vyann lan. Men, mwen menm, Seyè a, se pa sa ki fè m’ plezi. Koulye a mwen chonje tout peche yo fè, m’ap pini yo pou sa. M’ap fè yo tounen nan peyi Lejip.

8:14 Moun Izrayèl yo bliye moun ki te fè yo a. Y’ap bati gwo palè. Moun Jida yo menm ap bati gwo lavil ak miray ranpa pou pwoteje yo. Men mwen menm, m’ap voye dife nan lavil yo. Dife a ap boule tout palè yo ak tout gwo kay yo.
