God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
[How to Overcome Coveting]:
1. Guard your heart. This means pay attention to your desires.
2. Become a great giver... How do you overcome a covetous spirit? You give your way out of it.
3. Ask God to give you a grateful heart.
4. Refocus your life on Jesus Christ. Nothing human can cure covetousness; only an infusion of the supernatural power of Christ can make a lasting difference... Nothing will expel a coveting spirit except the power of a brand-new affection – a new love for Jesus Christ (Mt. 6:33).
In trial and weakness and trouble, He seeks to bring us low, until we learn that His grace is all, and to take pleasure in the very thing that brings us and keeps us low. His strength is made perfect in our weakness. His presence filling and satisfying our emptiness, becomes the secret of humility that need never fail. The humble man has learned the secret of abiding gladness. The weaker he feels, the lower he sinks, and the greater his humiliations appear, the more power and the presence of Christ are his portion.
SYRUP
CAKE
For syrup, in a small heavy skillet or saucepan, heat sugar over medium
heat. Lower to medium-low as syrup forms; stir frequently breaking up
lumps. Cook and stir until brown syrup forms and mixture begins to smoke,
about 30 minutes. Gradually stir in boiling water. Remove from heat; cool.
Reserve 1/2 cup for cake frosting. Preheat oven to 375. For cake, cream
butte and sugar together in a mixing bowl until light, about 3 minutes.
Gradually beat in 1/2 cup burnt sugar syrup. Add vanilla, then egg yolks
one at a time, beating after each addition. Sift together flour, baking
powder and salt. Add flour mixture alternately with milk, beating batter
until smooth. Beat egg whites until stiff, gently fold by hand into batter.
Pour batter into two 8-inch oiled layer cake pans, smoothing batter. Bake
for 20 to 25 minutes. Remove and cool. Makes 12 servings. Frost with Butter
Cream Frosting or Seven-minute burnt sugar frosting. Typed by Ethel Snyder

“We ought to give thanks for all fortune: if it is good, because it is good, if bad, because it works in us patience, humility and the contempt of this world and the hope of our eternal country. #C.S. Lewis”
