We Love God!

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

One might think that shame would now drive us to our task (of missions). Do the commands of our Lord mean so little to us? Are we indifferent to Him? Or, if not shame, pity on those who have not heard. Are we unconcerned at the cries of the heathen? Can we weep at television drama and sit dry-eyed before the needs of the lost? Such questions shame us, yet I know that shame will not move us as we ought to be moved. We will need a larger motive than our own humiliation to finish the task. Even the spiritual poverty of the pagan will not do it. We must have a grander vision...a new vision of God. And that vision is majestic, glorious.
Tom Wells

When our inequity had come to its full height, and it was clear beyond all mistaking that retribution in the form of punishment and death must be looked for, the hour arrived in which God had determined to make known from then onwards His loving-kindness and His power. How surpassing is the love and tenderness of God! In that hour, instead of hating us and rejecting us and remembering our wickedness against us, He showed how long-suffering He is. He bore with us, and in pity He took our sins upon Himself. He gave His own Son as a ransom for us – the holy for the wicked, the sinless for sinners, the just for unjust, the incorrupt for the corrupt, the immortal for the mortal. For was there, indeed, anything except His righteousness that could have availed to cover our sins? In whom could we, in our lawlessness and ungodliness, have been made holy, but in the Son of God alone? O sweet exchange! O unsearchable working! O benefits unhoped for! – that the wickedness of multitudes should thus be hidden in the One holy, and the holiness of One should sanctify the countless wicked!

113:1 Aleluja! Hvalite, sluge Jahvine, hvalite ime Jahvino!

113:2 Blagoslovljeno ime Jahvino sada i dovijeka!

113:3 Od istoka sunca do zalaska hvaljeno bilo ime Jahvino!

113:4 Uzvišen je Jahve nad sve narode, slava njegova nebesa nadvisuje.

113:5 Tko je kao Jahve, Bog naš, koji u visinama stoluje

113:6 i gleda odozgo nebo i zemlju?

113:7 Podiže iz prašine uboga, iz gliba vadi siromaha

113:8 da ga posadi s prvacima, s prvacima svoga naroda.

113:9 Nerotkinji daje da u domu stanuje kao radosna majka djece brojne.
