We Love God!

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

We don't change God's message -- His message changes us.

EXPOSITION.

In the light of the past the future is not doubtful. Since the same Almighty God fills the throne of power, we can with unhesitating confidence, exult in our security for all time to come.

The enduring existence and unchanging dominion of our Jehovah, are the firm foundations of our joy. The enemy and his destructions shall come to a perpetual end, but God and his throne shall _endure for ever_. The eternity of divine sovereignty yields unfailing consolation. By the throne being _prepared for judgment_, are we not to understand the swiftness of divine justice. In heaven’s court suitors are not worn out with long delays. Term-time lasts all the year round in the court of King’s Bench above. Thousands may come at once to the throne of the Judge of all the earth, but neither plaintiff nor defendant shall have to complain that he is not prepared to give their cause a fair hearing.

HINTS TO PREACHERS.

Verse 7 (first clause).–The eternity of God–the comfort of saints, the terror of sinners.
