We Love God!

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

Waiting on God entails three elements: 1. Complete dependence on Him (embracing the truth of what He has just said and actively entrusting one’s soul and circumstances to the God who does what He says He does). 2. Yielding to His schedule, i.e., patiently acquiescing to the wisdom of His timing, not ours. 3. Seeking God’s face, pressing in to know Him better and to love Him more.
Sam Storms

The meek man is not a human mouse afflicted with a sense of his own inferiority. Rather he may be in his moral life as bold as a lion and as strong as Samson; but he has stopped being fooled about himself. He has accepted God’s estimate of his own life. He knows he is as weak and helpless as God declared him to be, but paradoxically, he knows at the same time that he is in the sight of God of more importance than angels. In himself, nothing; in God, everything. That is his motto.
A.W. Tozer

    What Pleasure to Ponder
       Based on Psalm 119.145-152
     
    What pleasure to ponder the word of his power!
    I wait for the night, in the quiet of the hour.
    Because of your loyal love, listen to me,
    Revive me, O Lord, as you do typically.
    Reliable are your commands, you are near,
    With thoughts of your will in my heart, I'll not fear.
    Wrongdoers are far from your powerful law,
    But I want to feel the full strength of your draw.
    I rise before dawn, for help early pleading,
    It is hope that I find, when I'm hurting and bleeding.
