We Love God!

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

In the hands of a loving God, sorrow and suffering become the doorways into the greatest and most indestructible joys.
David Powlison

There is no attribute more comforting to His children than that of God's Sovereignty. Under the most adverse circumstances, in the most severe trials, they believe that Sovereignty has ordained their afflictions, that Sovereignty overrules them, and that Sovereignty will sanctify them all. There is nothing for which the children ought more earnestly to contend than the doctrine of their Master over all creation – the Kingship of God over all the works of His own hands – the Throne of God and His right to sit upon that Throne. On the other hand, there is no doctrine more hated by worldings, no truth of which they have made such a football, as the great, stupendous, but yet most certain doctrine of the Sovereignty of the infinite Jehovah. Men will allow God to be everywhere except on His throne. They will allow Him to be in His workshop to fashion worlds and make stars. They will allow Him to be in His almonry to dispense His alms and bestow His bounties. They will allow Him to sustain the earth and bear up the pillars thereof, or light the lamps of heaven, or rule the waves of the ever-moving ocean; but when God ascends His throne, His creatures then gnash their teeth, and [when] we proclaim an enthroned God, and His right to do as He wills with His own, to dispose of His creatures as He thinks well, without consulting them in the matter; then it is that we are hissed and execrated, and then it is that men turn a deaf ear to us, for God on His throne is not the God they love. But it is God upon the throne that we love to preach. It is God upon His throne whom we trust.
C.H. Spurgeon

24:1 ‘n Psalm van Dawid. Die aarde behoort aan die HERE en die volheid daarvan, die wêreld en die wat daarin woon;

24:2 want Hy het dit gegrond op die seë en dit vasgestel op die strome.

24:3 Wie mag klim op die berg van die HERE? En wie mag staan in sy heilige plek?

24:4 Hy wat rein van hande en suiwer van hart is, wat sy siel nie ophef tot nietigheid en nie vals sweer nie.

24:5 Hy sal seën wegdra van die HERE en geregtigheid van die God van sy heil.

24:6 Dit is die geslag van hulle wat na Hom vra, wat u aangesig soek- dit is Jakob. Sela.

24:7 Hef op julle hoofde, o poorte, ja, verhef julle, ewige deure, dat die Erekoning kan ingaan!

24:8 Wie is tog die Erekoning? Die HERE, sterk en geweldig, die HERE geweldig in die stryd.

24:9 Hef op julle hoofde, o poorte, ja, hef op, ewige deure, dat die Erekoning kan ingaan!

24:10 Wie is dan tog die Erekoning? Die HERE van die leërskare- Hy is die Erekoning! Sela.
