God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
Obedience is the fruit of the new birth. When a person has accepted Jesus Christ as their Savior, then God expects something of that person who is now His son. He expects us to be surrendered. He expects us to abide in His love. He expects us to constantly abide in His love. As we do, God changes us. Christianity is a lifelong process of growing from glory to glory into the image of Christ. We are never going to be finished, until we get to Heaven. Until then, when we yield, when we surrender, when we abide, the natural result of that is going to be fruit. The natural result of a branch yielded to the Vine is a changed life, a fruitful life.
From His possession of this “mind,” and in indescribable generosity He looked at the things of others, and descended with His splendor eclipsed – appeared not as a God in glory, but clothed in flesh; not in royal robes, but in the dress of a village youth; not as Deity in fire, but a man in tears; not in a palace, but in a manger; not with a thunderbolt in His hand, but with the hatchet and hammer of a Galilean mechanic.
BAKE at 325 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes. MAKES about 2 dozen. Sift
together flour, confectioners' sugar, and salt. Cream butter. Blend in the
dry ingredients; mix thoroughly. Stir in almond extract and ground or
finely chopped blanched almonds. If desired, chill for easier handling.
Shape dough into balls, using rounded teaspoonful for each. Place on
ungreased baking sheets; flatten into circles about 1/2 inch thick. Flute
edges to form scallops. Bake in slow oven (325 degrees) 20 to 25 minutes
until light golden brown. Remove from baking sheets immediately; cool. *For
use with Pillsbury's Best Self-Rising Flour, omit salt.

A Message from our Provider:
“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. #Don Fortner”
