We Love God!

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

I shall not attempt to teach a tiger the virtues of vegetarianism; but I shall as hopefully attempt that task as I would try to convince an unregenerate man of the truths revealed by God concerning sin, and righteousness and judgment to come. These spiritual truths are repugnant to carnal men, and the carnal mind cannot receive the things of God. Gospel truth is diametrically opposed to fallen nature; and if I have not a power much stronger than that which lies in moral suasion (persuasion), or in my own explanations and arguments, I have undertaken a task in which I am sure of defeat… Except the Lord endow us with power from on high, our labour must be in vain, and our hopes must end in disappointment.
C.H. Spurgeon

16 July 1842: I feel that, unless the soul be saturated with prayer and faith, little good may be expected from preaching. 4 September 1842: Prayer should be the main business of every day. 22 February 1846: God will not let me preach with power when I am not much in Him. More than ever do I feel that I should be as much an intercessor as a preacher of the Word. 4 June 1848: It is praying much that makes preaching felt. 29 December 1849: My chief desire should be . . . to be a man of prayer, for there is no want of speaking and writing and preaching and teaching and warning, but there is need of the Holy Spirit to make all this effectual. 21 February 1862: I am convinced that living in the spirit of prayer from hour to hour is what brings down the blessing. 9 September 1876: A time of impotence rising from want of much prayer. Nothing but constant intercourse with the Lord will carry on the soul. I got last Saturday set apart as a day of prayer; and I trace much of my help to that day. 22 June 1878: Ask much, for this is the way to grow rich. 12 May 1888: Found time to give the whole of this day entirely to prayer and meditation. There will be fruit of it to me and my people.

38:1 ¶ I taua wa ka maunu atu a Hura I roto i ona tuakana, a peka ana ki tetahi Aturami, ko Hira tona ingoa.

38:2 A kitea ana e Hura i reira te tamahine a tetahi Kanaani, ko Huaha tona ingoa: na ka tango ia i a ia, a haere ana ki roto, ki a ia.

38:3 Na ka hapu ia, a ka whanau he tama; a huaina iho tona ingoa ko Ere:

38:4 Na ka hapu ano ia, a ka whanau he tama; a huaina iho tona ingoa ko Onana.

38:5 A ka hapu ano ia, a ka whanau he tama; a huaina iho tona ingoa ko Heraha: i Ketipi hoki te tane i tona whanautanga.

38:6 Na ka tangohia e Hura he wahine ma Ere, ma tana matamua, ko tona ingoa ko Tamara.

38:7 He tangata kino a Ere matamua a Hura ki ta Ihowa titiro; a whakamatea ana ia e Ihowa.

38:8 Na ka mea a Hura ki a Onana, Haere ki roto, ki te wahine a tou tuakana, hei whakakapi mo te whawharua, kia whai uri ai tou tuakana.

38:9 I mohio ano a Onana e kore e waiho te uri mona; a, i tona haerenga ki te wahine a tona tuakana, na ka tukua e ia kia heke atu ki te whenua, kei hoatu e ia he uri ki tona tuakana.

38:10 He kino hoki tana mahi ki ta Ihowa titiro: na ka whakamatea hoki ia.

38:11 Katahi ka mea a Hura ki a Tamara, ki tana hunaonga, Me noho pouaru koe ki te whare o tou papa, kia kaumatua ra ano a Heraha, taku tama; i mea hoki ia, Kei mate ano hoki tenei, kei pera me ona tuakana. Na ka haere a Tamara, a noho ana i te whare o tona papa.

38:12 ¶ A, ka maha nga ra, ka mate te tamahine a Huaha, te wahine a Hura; a ka marie a Hura, a ka haere raua ko tona hoa ko Hira Aturami ki runga ki Timinata, ki ana kaikutikuti hipi.

38:13 A ka korerotia ki a Tamara, ka meatia, Ko tou hungawai tenei te haere ake nei ki Timinata, ki te kutikuti i ana hipi.

38:14 Na ka whakarerea atu e ia ona kakahu pouaru, ka hipoki i a ia ki tona arai, roropi tonu ki a ia, a ka noho i te tomokanga ki Enaima, i te huarahi ki Timinata; i kite hoki ia kua kaumatua a Heraha, a kahore ano ia i hoatu hei wahine mana.

38:15 Na, ka kite a Hura i a ia, hua noa ia he wahine kairau; no te mea i hipokina tona mata.

38:16 Na ka peka ia ki te ara ki a ia, ka mea, Tukua atu ahau, ne? kia haere atu ki a koe; kihai hoki ia i mohio ko tana hunaonga ia. A ka mea ia, He aha tau e homai ai ki ahau, ki te haere mai koe ki ahau?

38:17 A ka mea ia, Ka tukua atu e ahau tetahi kuao koati o te kahui. A ka mea ia, Ka homai ranei e koe tetahi taunaha ki ahau, kia tukua mai ra ano taua mea e koe?

38:18 A ka mea ia, He aha te taunaha e hoatu e ahau ki a koe? Ka mea ia, Ko tou hiri, me au tau, me tau tokotoko i tou ringa. Na ka hoatu e ia ki a ia, a ka haere atu ia ki a ia, a ka hapu ia i a ia.

38:19 Na ka whakatika ia, a haere ana, whakarerea ana e ia tona arai, a kakahuria iho ona kakahu pouaru.

38:20 Na ka hoatu te kuao koati e Hura kia kawea e tona hoa e te Aturami, ki te tiki i te taunaha i te ringa o te wahine; a kihai ia i kitea.

38:21 A ka ui ia ki nga tangata o taua wahi, ka mea, Kei hea te wahine kairau i Enaima nei i te taha o te ara? A ka mea ratou, Kahore he wahine kairau i konei.

38:22 Na ka hoki ia ki a Hura, ka mea, Kahore ia i kitea e ahau; e mea ana hoki nga tangata o tera wahi, kahore he wahine kairau i reira.

38:23 Na ka mea a Hura, Tukua kia tangohia e ia, kei tawaia taua: titiro hoki, kua tukua atu nei e ahau te kuao nei, a kihai ia i kitea e koe.

38:24 ¶ A ka toru nga marama, na ka korerotia ki a Hura, ka meatia, Kua kairau a Tamara, tau hunaonga; kua hapu ano hoki ia i ona kairautanga. A ka mea a Hura, Kawea ki waho, kia tahuna.

38:25 A, ka kawea ia ki waho, ka tono tangata ia ki tona hungawai, ka mea, Na te tangata nana enei mea toku hapu: i mea ano ia, Tena, tirohia, na wai enei, te hiri nei, me nga tau, me te tokotoko.

38:26 Na ka mohiotia e Hura, a ka mea ia, Nui atu tona tika i toku; kihai hoki ia i hoatu e ahau ki a Heraha, ki taku tama. A kihai ia i mohio ki a ia i muri iho.

38:27 A ka taka ki te wa e whanau ai ia, na, he mahanga kei roto i tona kopu.

38:28 A, i tona whanautanga, na ka torona te ringa o tetahi: na ka mau te kaiwhakawhanau ki te miro whero, a herea ana ki tona ringa, ka mea, Ko tenei i puta mai i mua.

38:29 A, i tana whakahokinga atu i tona ringa, na ka puta mai tona tuakana; a ka mea ia, Ka tae tou pakaru mai! nau te pakaru mai: koia i huaina ai tona ingoa ko Parete.

38:30 A muri iho ka puta tona teina, i herea nei tona ringa ki te miro whero: a ka huaina tona ingoa ko Teraha.
