We Love God!

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

Why do people punish their bodies to run a grueling marathon race? Most runners name two reasons: the sense of personal reward they get and the physical benefits of the exercise. The same two rewards apply in the spiritual realm: great prizes await those who persevere, and the very process of living by faith builds strong character.
Hank Hanegraaff

There is always design in our distress. God so values our trust in Him alone that He will graciously take away everything else in the world that we might be tempted to rely on: even life itself if necessary. His desire is that we grow deeper and stronger in our confidence that He Himself is all we need.
Sam Storms

125:1 (Ein Lied im Höhern Chor.) Die auf den HERRN hoffen, die werden nicht fallen, sondern ewig bleiben wie der Berg Zion.

125:2 Um Jerusalem her sind Berge, und der HERR ist um sein Volk her von nun an bis in Ewigkeit.

125:3 Denn der Gottlosen Zepter wird nicht bleiben über dem Häuflein der Gerechten, auf daß die Gerechten ihre Hand nicht ausstrecken zur Ungerechtigkeit.

125:4 HERR, tue wohl den guten und frommen Herzen!

125:5 Die aber abweichen auf ihre krummen Wege, wird der HERR wegtreiben mit den Übeltätern. Friede sei über Israel!
