"Lost In Love"

"Let mount Zion rejoice, let the daughters of Judah be glad, because of Thy judgments." (Psalms 48:11) You should know me by now, the title always comes first, then the message; this one might take awhile! When you are talking about God's "judgments", there are just so many different directions that you could go; are we talking about God judging sin, or are we talking about God's way of doing things? Well, based upon the "gladness" and "rejoicing" that is being spoken of, I would go in the direction of the way that He does things. If we were to be perfectly honest with ourselves, without God's mercy and grace we really do not have a whole lot to rejoice about, not if we know God's judgment of sin, it is not a laughing matter. Jesus did not laugh that night before the cross, He wept; wept is a little weak of a term, He was tormented! Sin was a very serious issue that had to be dealt with, and there was just no other way to do it, no matter how much it was going to hurt. Do you see what I am getting at? God tore sin up! He tore it up with His Son; literally, He tore His Son up to free us from our sins! What kind of craziness is that!!! "Who hath believed our report? And to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed?" (Isaiah 53:1) That "arm of the LORD" that is being spoken of is His judgment! What that actually is talking about is His judgment of sin which He poured out upon His Son, for you and I; that is the crazy kind of love that I want to be lost in! I never want to find my way out of it! Just so you know, there is a little bit of weeping going on here; okay, maybe more than just a little!
"So shall My Word be that goeth forth out of My mouth: It shall not return unto Me void, but It shall accomplish that which I please, and It shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent It. For ye shall go out with joy, and be lead forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands. Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree, and instead of the briar shall come up the myrtle tree: and It shall be to the LORD for a name, for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off." (Isaiah 55:11-13)
