We Love God!

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

A heart crushed is a fragrant heart. Men contemn those who are contemptible in their own eyes, but the Lord sees not as man sees. He despises what men esteem, and values that which they despise. Never yet has God spurned a lowly, weeping penitent, and never will he while God is love, and while Jesus is called the man who receives sinners. Bulls and rams He desires not, but contrite hearts He seeks after.
C.H. Spurgeon

Trials can devastate us because we are often looking as to how they are affecting our lives. Yet when we can die to self and desire God’s glory as a result of them, we are given an entirely different outlook. We can actually rejoice if we know God’s name, God’s glory is being magnified as witnessed through our response to the trial. Specifically how? When others see our Christlike attitude – gratitude verses complaining, kindness verses anger, faith verses anxiety, contentment verses greed and joy verses bitterness – God is glorified. It means very little when godly character and spiritual fruit only appear when things are going well in our lives.

INGREDIENTS

3 Ears corn, yellow or white
shucked
1/4 c Maple syrup
3 Bacon, diced small
1 Yellow onion, diced small
1 t Fresh sage, chopped
Salt and freshly ground
pepper to taste

INSTRUCTIONS

Cook corn in boiling water for 4 minutes. Remove and allow it to cool.
Over medium fire, grill corn 2 to 3 minutes, or until lightly brown.
Brush with syrup and continue to grill an additional 3 to 4 minutes,
or until syrup begins to caramelize and corn has brown marks. Remove
corn from grill and cool.  With sharp knife, cut kernels off cobs.  In
saute pan or large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until  crisp,
about 5 minutes. Add onion and cook an additional 4 to 5  minutes, or
until onion is clear. Add corn and cook 2 minutes longer.  Remove corn
mixture from heat, add sage and season with salt and  pepper.  Notes:
From ``The Thrill of the Grill,'' by Chris Schlesinger and John
Willoughby (Morrow, 1990). Searching for something different to do on
the grill, I found this dish, which is served with a pork tenderloin
in the book. It's a wonderful summer side dish served at room
temperature or cold. Fresh sage makes all the difference.  Recipe by:
