We Love God!

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

16 July 1842: I feel that, unless the soul be saturated with prayer and faith, little good may be expected from preaching. 4 September 1842: Prayer should be the main business of every day. 22 February 1846: God will not let me preach with power when I am not much in Him. More than ever do I feel that I should be as much an intercessor as a preacher of the Word. 4 June 1848: It is praying much that makes preaching felt. 29 December 1849: My chief desire should be . . . to be a man of prayer, for there is no want of speaking and writing and preaching and teaching and warning, but there is need of the Holy Spirit to make all this effectual. 21 February 1862: I am convinced that living in the spirit of prayer from hour to hour is what brings down the blessing. 9 September 1876: A time of impotence rising from want of much prayer. Nothing but constant intercourse with the Lord will carry on the soul. I got last Saturday set apart as a day of prayer; and I trace much of my help to that day. 22 June 1878: Ask much, for this is the way to grow rich. 12 May 1888: Found time to give the whole of this day entirely to prayer and meditation. There will be fruit of it to me and my people.
Andrew Bonar

We all know people, even unbelievers, who seem to be natural servants. They are always serving others one way or another. But God does not get the glory; they do. It is their reputation that is enhanced. But when we, natural servants or not, serve in dependence upon the grace of God with the strength He supplies, God is glorified.

92:1 Virsi, sapatinpäivä-laulu.

92:2 Hyvä on Herraa kiittää ja veisata kiitosta sinun nimellesi, sinä Korkein,

92:3 aamulla julistaa sinun armoasi ja yön tullen sinun totuuttasi

92:4 kymmenkielisillä soittimilla ja harpuilla, kannelta soittaen.

92:5 Sillä sinä ilahutat minua, Herra, töilläsi; minä riemuitsen sinun kättesi teoista.

92:6 Kuinka suuret ovat sinun tekosi, Herra! Sinun ajatuksesi ovat ylen syvät.

92:7 Järjetön mies ei tätä ymmärrä, eikä sitä älyä tomppeli.

92:8 Kun jumalattomat rehottavat niinkuin ruoho ja väärintekijät kaikki kukoistavat, on se heidän ikuiseksi häviöksensä.

92:9 Mutta sinä, Herra, olet korkea iankaikkisesti.

92:10 Sillä katso, sinun vihollisesi, Herra, katso, sinun vihollisesi hukkuvat, kaikki väärintekijät joutuvat hajallensa.

92:11 Mutta minun sarveni sinä kohotat kuin villihärän sarvet; minut voidellaan tuoreella öljyllä.

92:12 Ja iloiten minun silmäni katsovat vainoojiani, minun korvani kuulevat noista pahoista, jotka ovat nousseet minua vastaan.

92:13 Vanhurskas viheriöitsee kuin palmupuu, hän kasvaa kuin Libanonin setri.

92:14 He ovat istutetut Herran huoneeseen, he viheriöitsevät meidän Jumalamme kartanoissa.

92:15 Vielä vanhuudessaan he tekevät hedelmää, ovat mehevät ja vihannat [92:16] ja julistavat, että Herra on vanhurskas, hän, minun kallioni, ja ettei hänessä vääryyttä ole.
