We Love God!

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

God does not like to be taken for granted. It flies in the face of His eternal purposes – that He be known and loved and praised and enjoyed. And it makes us superficial people… When the main thing is missing, what’s left is distorted and superficial, whatever it is. If someone says, “Oh, that’s just religion,” I answer, “It’s not religion. It’s reality. God made the world and everything in it. He owns the earth and everyone on it. He is the main actor in the world. He is guiding the history of every people and nation to their appointed goals. Everything, without exception, has to do with God and gets its main meaning from God. And not to show this, but to take this for granted, is to be superficial.” It is simply impossible to overstate the importance of God. And He does not like being taken for granted. The psalm does not say, “Great is the Lord, and greatly to be taken for granted.” It says, “Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised” (Psm. 96:4).
John Piper

On January 12, 1723, I made a solemn dedication of myself to God, and wrote it down; giving up myself, and all that I had to God; to be for the future, in no respect, my own; to act as one that had no right to be himself, in any respect. And solemnly vowed to take God for my whole portion and felicity; looking on nothing else, as any part of my happiness, nor acting as if it were; and His law for the constant rule of my obedience: engaging to fight against the world, the flesh and the devil, to the end of my life.
Jonathan Edwards

85:1 oratio ipsi David inclina Domine aurem tuam %et; exaudi me quoniam inops et pauper sum ego

85:2 custodi animam meam quoniam sanctus sum salvum fac servum tuum Deus meus sperantem in te

85:3 miserere mei Domine quoniam ad te clamabo tota die

85:4 laetifica animam servi tui quoniam ad te Domine animam meam levavi

85:5 quoniam tu Domine suavis et mitis et multae misericordiae omnibus invocantibus te

85:6 auribus percipe Domine orationem meam et intende voci orationis meae

85:7 in die tribulationis meae clamavi ad te quia exaudisti me

85:8 non est similis tui in diis Domine et non est secundum opera tua

85:9 omnes gentes quascumque fecisti venient et adorabunt coram te Domine et glorificabunt nomen tuum

85:10 quoniam magnus es tu et faciens mirabilia tu es Deus solus

85:11 deduc me Domine in via tua et ingrediar in veritate tua laetetur cor meum ut timeat nomen tuum

85:12 confitebor tibi Domine Deus meus in toto corde meo et glorificabo nomen tuum in aeternum

85:13 quia misericordia tua magna est super me et eruisti animam meam ex inferno inferiori

85:14 Deus iniqui insurrexerunt super me et synagoga potentium quaesierunt animam meam et non proposuerunt te in conspectu suo

85:15 et tu Domine Deus miserator et misericors patiens et multae misericordiae et verax

85:16 respice in me et miserere mei da imperium tuum puero tuo et salvum fac filium ancillae tuae

85:17 fac mecum signum in bono et videant qui oderunt me et confundantur quoniam tu Domine adiuvasti me et consolatus es me
