God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
Our hopelessness and our helplessness are no barrier to (God’s) work. Indeed our utter incapacity is often the prop He delights to use for His next act… We are facing one of the principles of Yahweh’s modus operandi. When His people are without strength, without resources, without hope, without human gimmicks – then He loves to stretch forth His hand from heaven. Once we see where God often begins we will understand how we may be encouraged.

2

1 1/2
c
Firmly packed light brown sugar
INSTRUCTIONS
from 365 Ways to Prepare for Christmas
Preheat oven to 325°. Spread out almonds on a baking sheet and bake,
stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Let cool.
Coarsely chop chocolate chips in food processor, pulsing on and off.
Transfer to a medium bowl. In same processor bowl, coarsely chop almonds,
pulsing on and off. Add to chocolate chips, tossing to combine. Spread
half of mixture evenly over bottom of a well-greased 13-X9-inch baking pan.
In a heavy medium saucepan, bring butter and brown sugar to a boil,
stirring constantly, over medium heat. Cook 5-7 minutes, or until syrup in
light golden-brown and just reaches the hard crack stage (300°F on a candy
thermometer). At that point, a bit of syrup, when dropped into a bowl of
ice water, should separate into threads that are hard and brittle.
Pour hot syrup evenly over nut mixture. Top with remaining nut mixture,
smoothing and pressing down gently with a spatula. Refrigerate until
toffee is set and chocolate is firm, about 1 1/2 hours. Cut into squares or
irregular pieces. Store in a tightly covered container in refrigerator up
to 2 weeks.
