We Love God!

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

Let it be remembered then, that jealousy, like anger, is not evil in itself, or it could never be ascribed to God; His jealousy is ever a pure and holy flame. The passion of jealousy possesses an intense force, it fires the whole nature, its coals are juniper, which have a most vehement flame; it resides in the lowest depths of the heart, and takes so firm a hold that it remains most deeply rooted until the exciting cause is removed; it wells up from the inmost recesses of the nature, and like a torrent irresistibly sweeps all before it; it stops at nothing, for it is cruel as the grave (Cant. 8:6), it provokes wrath to the utmost, for it is the rage of a man, therefore he will not spare in the day of vengeance (Proverbs 6:34), and it overthrows everything in the pursuit of its enemy, for “wrath is cruel, and anger is outrageous; but who is able to stand before jealousy?” For all these reasons jealousy is selected as some faint picture of that tender regard which God has for His own Deity, honor, and supremacy, and the holy indignation which He feels towards those who violate His laws, offend His majesty, or impeach His character.
C.H. Spurgeon

For my own part, I tend to find the doctrinal books often more helpful in devotion than the devotional books, and I rather suspect that the same experience may await others. I believe that many who find that 'nothing happens' when they sit down, or kneel down, to a book of devotion, would find that the heart sings unbidden while they are working their way through a tough bit of theology.
C.S. Lewis

Recipe by Deborah Madison
Apricots are quite delicious with yams. Leave the ginger in big pieces and
pull it out later, or finely chop it and leave it with the yams, as you
wish.
If the skin on the yam looks firm and smooth, scrub the yam. Otherwise,
peel it.
Cut the yam into rounds slightly less than 1/2" thick, and cut each round
into quarters, or sixths if it is very large. Combine all the ingredients
in a small saucepan, cover with 1 1/2 C water, bring to a boil, then
simmer, covered, for 1/2 hrs. Check the pan and add more water, in small
increments if necessary, until the yams are completely cooked, another 20
minutes or so. Allow whatever liquid is left to boil down until a small
amount of sauce is left. Pile into a bowl and serve.
Variation: Whip the yam-apricot mixture briefly in a food processor to make
a puree.
