We Love God!

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

The time factor in prayer is very important. In the exercise of prayer God is not tied to our clocks. Neither is He at the other end of the phone to receive and answer our two-minute calls. It takes time to know the mind of God, to shut out the material things of earth and to be wholly abandoned (Hugh McCullough).

It should fill us with joy, that infinite wisdom guides the affairs of the world. Many of its events are shrouded in darkness and mystery, and inextricable confusion sometimes seems to reign. Often wickedness prevails, and God seems to have forgotten the creatures that He has made. Our own path through life is dark and devious, and beset with difficulties and dangers. How full of consolation is the doctrine, that infinite wisdom directs every event, brings order out of confusion, and light out of darkness, and, to those who love God, causes all things, whatever be their present aspect and apparent tendency, to work together for good.

(Advent Hymn Of The Eleventh Century.)

HEAR, Earth, hear God’s decree,
Cave of the mighty sea!
Hear, man! hear every one
Dwelling beneath the sun!

It Cometh! it is near.
The day of wrath and fear!
Woe for that bitter day,
When shrinks the heaven away!
Gloweth the sun blood-red;
Afar the pale moon flieth;
Morning in blackness dieth;
Earthward the wan stars fall.
Upon that day of dread,
Woe! woe for sinners all!
In guilt and misery,
What shall our portion be?

-WASHBURN.
