God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
Let Him therefore send and do what He will. By His grace, if we are His, we will face it, bow to it, accept it, and give thanks for it. God’s Providence is always executed in the ‘wisest manner’ possible. We are often unable to see and understand the reasons and causes for specific events in our lives, in the lives of others, or in the history of the world. But our lack of understanding does not prevent us from believing God.
I like the way John Piper once put this along the lines of fearing God and perseverance. “Fearing the Lord means fearing to run away from Him. It means fearing to seek refuge and joy and hope anywhere but in God. It means keeping before our eyes what a fearful prospect it is to stop trusting and depending on God to meet our needs.” He who does not fear God has called a peace treaty with sin. But he who does fear God, battles sin and fervently continues in the daily quest for holiness. So fearing God enables us to obey Him, mature spiritually and faithfully persevere until the end.
Pecans, chopped (we use chopped almonds on some batches)
3/4
c
Brown sugar (packed)
1/2
c
Butter or margarine (butter makes it richer)
1/2
pk
(6 oz size) semisweet chocolate chips. (1/2 cup)
INSTRUCTIONS
Almond Rocca: This is not for Almond Roca, yet it is close enough and it is
real easy. In fact my 14 year old daughter has been making it by herself at
christmas for the past 4 years. Hope this will meet your needs. It comes
from the Betty Crocker cookbook, so you may have it on hand already.
Toffee: Butter square pan, 9x9x2 inches. Spread chopped nuts in pan. Heat
sugar and butter to boiling, stirring constantly. Boil over medium heat,
stirring constantly, 7 minutes (watch it real close the last minute or
two). Immediately spread mixture evenly over nuts in pan. Sprinkle
chocolate pieces over hot mixture; place a baking sheet over pan so
contained heat will melt chocolate. Spread melted chocolate over canndy.
While hot, cut into 1 1/2 inch squares. chill until firm.
Now for the changes we use.
When we are going to be giving this as a gift, we melt another 1/2 cup of
chocolate in the microwave. Use an 7x7x2 pan (or smaller than the 9x9x2).
Spread the melted chocolate on top of the buttered pan that is covered with
the nuts. After the chocolate is spread on top, sprinkle more nuts on top,
while chocolate is still warm. Then cut into small sizes. After the candy
is set, remove from the pan and wrap individually with desert foil. I get
mine at the bakery supply, or a craft shop.
