We Love God!

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

It’s fascinating to note that the first thing mentioned that the early did when they gathered together was to pray. Before there is any comment regarding the preaching of the Word, singing or fellowshipping (or even the myriads of “ministries” we engage in today), the Bible says they were “continually devoting themselves to prayer” (Ac. 1:14).
Randy Smith

[Our flesh] indicates that the essential way in which people are rebelling against God is that they are assuming that, like Him, they can make the decisions necessary for enjoying a fulfilled and happy future. The folly of this rebellion is that people think that they love themselves more, are wiser, and thus better able than the all-loving, omniscient, omnipotent God to provide for themselves the fulfillment they crave. Thus conversion, according to Jesus, reverses the act of the Fall and makes a declaration, not of independence from God, but dependence on Him.

לבני קרח מזמור שיר יסודתו בהררי קדש׃
אהב יהוה שערי ציון מכל משכנות יעקב׃
נכבדות מדבר בך עיר האלהים סלה׃
אזכיר רהב ובבל לידעי הנה פלשת וצור עם כוש זה ילד שם׃
ולציון יאמר איש ואיש ילד בה והוא יכוננה עליון׃
יהוה יספר בכתוב עמים זה ילד שם סלה׃
ושרים כחללים כל מעיני בך׃
