We Love God!

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

I like the way John Piper once put this along the lines of fearing God and perseverance. “Fearing the Lord means fearing to run away from Him. It means fearing to seek refuge and joy and hope anywhere but in God. It means keeping before our eyes what a fearful prospect it is to stop trusting and depending on God to meet our needs.” He who does not fear God has called a peace treaty with sin. But he who does fear God, battles sin and fervently continues in the daily quest for holiness. So fearing God enables us to obey Him, mature spiritually and faithfully persevere until the end.

65:1 <> Praise waits for you, God, in Zion. To you shall vows be performed.

65:2 You who hear prayer, To you all men will come.

65:3 Sins overwhelmed me, But you atoned for our transgressions.

65:4 Blessed is one whom you choose, and cause to come near, That he may live in your courts. We will be filled with the goodness of your house, Your holy temple.

65:5 By awesome deeds of righteousness, you answer us, God of our salvation. You who are the hope of all the ends of the earth, Of those who are far away on the sea;

65:6 Who by his power forms the mountains, Having armed yourself with strength;

65:7 Who stills the roaring of the seas, The roaring of their waves, And the turmoil of the nations.

65:8 They also who dwell in far-away places are afraid at your wonders. You call the morning’s dawn and the evening with songs of joy.

65:9 You visit the earth, and water it. You greatly enrich it. The river of God is full of water. You provide them grain, for so you have ordained it.

65:10 You drench its furrows. You level its ridges. You soften it with showers. You bless it with a crop.

65:11 You crown the year with your bounty. Your carts overflow with abundance.

65:12 The wilderness grasslands overflow. The hills are clothed with gladness.

65:13 The pastures are covered with flocks. The valleys also are clothed with grain. They shout for joy! They also sing.
