We Love God!

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

[Forgiveness] is [often] deciding to live with the painful consequences of another person’s sin. You are going to have to live with it anyway, so you might as well do it without the bitterness and rancor and hatred that threaten to destroy your soul.
Sam Storms

But how do we get [wisdom]? There are several basic prerequisites. 1. Admit our need. Solomon said, “With the humble is wisdom” (Proverbs 11:2). The humble are those who do not think more highly of themselves than they should. They are willing to admit that they do not have all the answers, that their opinions may not always be right, and that they need to know the mind of God. In other words, they have a teachable spirit. 2. Fear the Lord. The Psalmist said, “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom” (Psalm 111:10). To fear God is not to cower before Him in terror, but to bow before Him in awe, respect, and total trust in His purposes for our lives. 3. Study God’s Word. By loving God’s Word and meditating on it daily, the Psalmist discovered that he was wiser than his enemies, that he had more insight than his teachers, and more understanding than the aged (Psalm 119:97-100). 4. Pray. “But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all men generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him” (James 1:5). Sometimes praying for wisdom is the last thing we think to do when we face a knotty problem, a difficult decision, a pressing emergency, or an alarming crisis. The Lord is standing ready to give us His wisdom and we often think about everything we can do to work out the problem except talking to Him about it.

Converted by MC_Buster.  NOTES : When choosing a ham, what should you
look for?. Ham refers to  the meat from the hind leg of a hog that has
been cured and often  smoked and cooked. The most popular kind of ham
is a fully cooked  ham. It is ready to eat when you buy it, and it
should be heated to  140 degrees. Hams labeled "cook before eating" are
not completely  cooked during processing and should be cooked to 160
degrees. Country  or country-style hams are cured, may or may not be
smoked, and are  usually aged. These are generally saltier. Finally,
turkey ham is  skinless boneless turkey thigh meat that is smoked and
cured to taste  like pork ham. To serve it hot, it should be heated to
140 degrees.  Recipe by: Good Morning America  Converted by MM_Buster

    A Message from our Provider:

    “A cheerful spirit is one of the most valuable gifts ever bestowed upon humanity by a kind Creator. It is the sweetest and most fragrant flower of the Spirit, that constantly sends out its beauty and fragrance, and blesses everything within its reach. It will sustain the soul in the darkest and most dreary places of this world. It will hold in check the demons of despair, and stifle the power of discouragement and hopelessness. It is the brightest star that ever cast its radiance over the darkened soul, and one that seldom sets in the gloom of morbid fancies and forboding imaginations.”
