We Love God!

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

I [do not] necessarily understand every decision or... agree with every action the various levels of government have taken. But that’s the very nature of submission. God doesn’t call us to follow leadership only when we fully agree with it. It has struck me that the New Testament’s posture toward civil leaders is generally positive. It seems to nudge us toward the assumption that governments are acting wisely, not foolishly; that our opinion toward their actions should generally be favorable, not skeptical; that our words about them should be supportive, not rebellious; and that our response to their decrees should generally be submissive, not resistant. Romans 13:1-7 is not about the limits of governmental authority, but about the goodness and necessity of Christian obedience. The same is true of 1 Peter 2:13-17 and Titus 3:1, not to mention Matthew 22:21.
Tim Challies

In the first place, we must not expect God to reveal His will to us unless we desire to know that will and intend to do that will. Knowledge of God’s will and the performance of that will go together. We are apt to desire to know God's will so that we may decide whether we will obey or not. Such an attitude is disastrous. “If any man willeth to do His will, he shall know of the teaching” (John 7:17).

Hi!  This is on the menu at our house tonight!  The recipe comes from the
New York Times Cookbook.
Brown the pork chops on both sides in the butter in a skillet.  Transfer
chops to a platter and keep warm.  Pour off most of the fat.  To the fat
remaining in the skillet add the onions and cook briefly, stirring until
the onions are wilted. Add the tomato puree, wine, thyme, bay leaf, salt
and pepper. Return the chops to the skillet and turn them in the sauce.
Cover and cook for 1 hour, basting occasionally, until the chops are
tender.  Mix the parsley, garlic and lemon rind together and sprinkle over
the chops.
I'm going to serve this with new potatoes and a green salad.
