We Love God!

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

God acts first to strengthen sufferers internally. If you “suffer in a Godward direction,” He gives you hope. It is in the context of suffering that God strengthens hearts in many ways: 1. The love of God pours out directly into the hearts of afflicted persons who rely on Him in hope (Rom. 5:3-5). 2. God becomes directly known – “seen” – in ways previously unimaginable (Job 42:5). 3. Our foolishness is revealed, so that we might receive growing wisdom directly from God (James 1:2-5). 4. We are remade into the image of Jesus, and established in the love of God (Rom. 8:29, in the context of 8:18-39). 5. We learn to trust and obey Jesus, who walked the path of unjust suffering ahead of us and now walks it with us (Heb. 4:14-5:9; 12:1-11). 6. Our self-centered cravings are revealed and our faith is purified and simplified (1 Peter 1:3-15).
David Powlison

We are prepared to serve the Lord only by sacrifice. We are fit for the work of God only when we have wept over it, prayed about it, and then we are enabled by Him to tackle the job that needs to be done. May God give to us hearts that bleed, eyes that are wide open to see, minds that are clear to interpret God's purposes, wills that are obedient, and a determination that is utterly unflinching as we set about the tasks He would have us do.

1 tb Salt; (not iodized)
1 pn Alum
2 Cloves garlic
2 Sprigs of fresh dill
Beans to fill the jar
1 tb Red chili flakes; (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS

Glad to oblige. This is actually a takeoff on my Mom's dill picklerecipe
already in the archives. Here goes:
for each QUART jar add the above ingredients.
Add water to within 1/4 inch of the top of the jar. Seal. Place jar(s) in
cool, fairly dark area for at least 10 days.
Beans should be chilled before serving. That's it!
You can certainly (with my blessings) add more garlic and dill to taste.
The chili gives the beans a nice kick; even the kids like them.
