God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
Proud people tend to talk about themselves a lot. Proud people tend to like their opinions more than the opinions of others. Proud people think their stories are more interesting and engaging than others. Proud people think they know and understand more than others’. Proud people think they’ve earned the right to be heard. Proud people think they have glory to offer. Proud people, because they are basically proud of what they know and of what they’ve done, talk a lot about both. Proud people don’t reference weakness. Proud people don’t talk about failure. Proud people don’t confess sin. So proud people are better at putting the spotlight on themselves than at shining the light of their stories and opinions on God’s glorious and utterly undeserved grace.
Throughout the Bible, bleak situations provide the stage for God’s intervention in the lives of His people. We trust in a God who provided redemption in Jesus Christ when circumstances looked as if no redemption was possible. The events of our lives are the scene of His providential and redemptive activity. Nothing occurs by chance, takes God by surprise, or exceeds His power to handle. This is the foundation of trust.

MUSHROOM MARINADE
CHICKEN MARINADE
Carefully clean the mushrooms with a damp paper towel and trim. Remove and
chop the stems. Place the mushrooms caps, tops down, and the chopped stems
in a 9x11" glass baking dish. Pour 1 tb olive oil and 1 tb sherry over the
underside of each mushroom cap; pour the remaining olive oil and sherry
over the stems. Cover and set aside to marinate at room temp for 1 hour.
Mix together the marinade for the chicken and pour over the chicken slices.
Cover and set aside to marinate at room temp for 1 hour. Grill the chicken
quickly, about 1 to 2 minutes per side (they will be cooked further).
Preheat the oven to 400~. Carefully spread 1 tb pesto over the underside of
each mushroom cap. Sprinkle 1 1/2 ts sun-dried tomatoes on top of each
pesto-covered mushroom. Evenly distribute the marinated mushroom stems on
top of the tomatoes. Place 2 slices of chicken on top. Place the stuffed
mushrooms in a greased 9x13 pan. Bake for approximately 20 to 25 minutes or
until heated through. Serve immediately. Source: Diane Mott Davidson.
