God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
At the cross we catch a glimpse of the enormity of our sins’ offense to God. Here we learn about hell as Jesus, God’s beloved Son, takes the retributive punishment that we deserved, even separation from God, to deliver us. Here we look deeply into the mystery of the love a holy and righteous God for sinners.
Lord, grant that from hence I may learn to withdraw thoughts, affections, desires, and expectations entirely from the world, and may fix them upon the heavenly state, where there is fullness of joy; where reigns heavenly, sweet, calm, and delightful love without alloy; where there are continually the dearest expressions of this love; where there is the enjoyment of this love without ever parting; and where those persons, who appear so lovely in this world, will be inexpressibly more lovely, and full of love to us. How sweetly will those, who thus mutually love, join together in singing the praises of God and the Lamb. How full will it fill us with joy, to think that this enjoyment, these sweet exercises, will never cease or come to an end, but will last to all eternity.
Mix flour and leavenings in a large bowl. Stir in bran or germ, dates, and
nuts. Mix remaining ingredients in another bowl until smooth; add to flour
mixture. Stir just to combine. Drop into muffin cups (makes 12 small ones,
less more satisfying larger ones). Sprinkle rolled Oats on top to look
pretty. Bake at 375 degrees for 15-20 minutes.
Non-vegan slightly higher-fat alternative: substitute buttermilk and and
egg for the apple juice.
