We Love God!

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

We secretly wish we could have a “vicarious” Christianity, and could be good by proxy, and have everything done for us. Anything that requires exertion and labor is entirely against the grain of our hearts. But the soul can have “no gains without pains”… To be a Christian it will cost a man his love of ease.
J.C. Ryle

Don’t think such heavenly mindedness makes us pilgrims no earthly good. Don’t pooh-pooh it as looking at the world through pie-in-the-sky, rose-colored glasses. Sojourners who think the most of the next world are usually those who are doing the highest good in this one. It is the person whose mind is only on earthly things who, when it comes to earth, does little good.

金灯台的异象
那与我说话的天使又来叫醒我,好像人睡觉被唤醒一样。
他问我说:「你看见了什么?」我说:「我看见了一个纯金的灯台,顶上有灯盏,灯台上有七盏灯,每盏有七个管子。
旁边有两棵橄榄树,一棵在灯盏的右边,一棵在灯盏的左边。」
我问与我说话的天使说:「主啊,这是什么意思?」
与我说话的天使回答我说:「你不知道这是什么意思吗?」我说:「主啊,我不知道。」
 神给所罗巴伯的应许
他对我说:「这是耶和华指示所罗巴伯的。万军之耶和华说:不是倚靠势力,不是倚靠才能,乃是倚靠我的灵方能成事
大山哪,你算什么呢?在所罗巴伯面前,你必成为平地。他必搬出一块石头,安在殿顶上。人且大声欢呼说:『愿恩惠恩惠归与这殿+!』」
耶和华的话又临到我说:
所罗巴伯的手立了这殿的根基,他的手也必完成这工,你就知道万军之耶和华差遣我到你们这里来了。
10 谁藐视这日的事为小呢?这七乃是耶和华的眼睛,遍察全地,见所罗巴伯手拿线铊就欢喜。」
11 我又问天使说:「这灯台左右的两棵橄榄树是什么意思?」
12 我二次问他说:「这两根橄榄枝在两个流出金色的金嘴旁边是什么意思?」
13 他对我说:「你不知道这是什么意思吗?」我说:「主啊,我不知道。」
14 他说:「这是两个受膏者站在普天下主的旁边。」
