We Love God!

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

There is no question that obedience to God’s commands prompted by fear or merit-seeking is not true obedience. The only obedience acceptable to God is constrained and impelled by love, because “love is the fulfillment of the law” (Romans 13:10). God’s law as revealed in His Word prescribes our duty, but love provides the correct motive for obedience. We obey God’s law, not to be loved, but because we are loved in Christ.
Jerry Bridges

The weaknesses we see in the people of the Bible are the very weaknesses we ought to recognize in ourselves. Like Eve, who ate the forbidden fruit, we are vulnerable to temptation when we act on our own. Like Abraham, who lied about his wife to save his neck, we are vulnerable to temptation when we are scared. Like David, who slept with Bathsheba while his men were off to war, we are vulnerable to temptation when we are idle. Like Elijah, who wanted God to end his life, we are vulnerable to temptation when we are exhausted. Like Peter, who denied his Lord even after he promised to die for him, we are vulnerable to temptation when we are overconfident. In other words, we are vulnerable to temptation practically all the time.

I know this recipe calls for canned pumpkin, but it is still the best
recipe for it I've ever tasted.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  In a large bowl, mix sugar and oil.  Add
pumpkin and eggs.  Blend well.  Then, add flour, spices, and water.  Mix
completely.  Pour into two, well-greased loaf pans.  Bake for 1 1/2 hours.
Note:  I have a gas oven that gets really hot, so I don't let my bread cook
for the whole 1 1/2 hours.  I check it after an hour (just press the top of
the loaves - if they spring back their done or use the toothpick test).
