We Love God!

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

Money is a self-defeating pursuit. In my efforts to find contentment in money, I actually become more discontent if I love money. The more I believe money will satisfy my needs, the more I will depend on money, only to realize that I never have enough. As long as there is always a new item to purchase, I will never be satisfied or content with what I possess.
Randy Smith

To concentrate on service and activity for God may often actively thwart our attaining of the true goal, God Himself. At first sight it seems heroic to fling our lives away in the service of God and of our fellows. We feel it is bound to mean more to Him than our experience of Him. Service seems so unselfish, whereas concentrating on our walk with God seems selfish and self-centered. But it is the very reverse. The things that God is most concerned about are our coldness of heart towards Himself and our proud, unbroken natures. Christian service of itself can, and so often does, leave our self-centered nature untouched… With those things hidden in our hearts, we have only to work alongside others, and find resentment, hardness, criticism, jealousy, and frustration issuing from our hearts. We think we are working for God, but the test of how little of our service for Him is revealed by our resentment or self-pity… We need to leave our lusting for ever-larger spheres of Christian service and concentrate on seeing God for ourselves and finding the deep answer for life in Him.

INSTRUCTIONS

TOPPINGS
Makes 4 servings
Arrange chips and toppings on the table and let everyone choose their own.
The combination of hot, cooked chili and cold, crunchy vegetables heightens
the appeal of this salad.
Place the carrot in a food processor and process until coarsely chopped.
Add onion and continue to process until vegetables are finely chopped.
Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add carrot mixture and
cook, stirring often, until mixture is slightly tender, about 3 to 4
minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Add chili powder, cumin,
coriander and oregano and stir until well combined.
Puree stewed tomatoes in a blender or food processor. Add to pan with beans
and stir to combine. Bring to a boil and stir. Reduce heat, cover and
simmer 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
To assemble salads, have guests line soup-size bowls with tortilla chips
and spoon on hot bean chili, then select desired toppings.
Variation: Instead of the combination here, you can substitute your
favorite chili.
