God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
It’s the testimony of almost all saints that as they get closer to God they see more of their ungodliness. It’s normal to feel less holy as you become more holy. Being more aware of sin in your life is usually a sign of the Spirit’s sanctifying work, not of His withdrawal.
“Growth in grace” pleases God. It may seem a wonderful thing, no doubt, that anything done by such creatures as we are can give pleasure to the Most High God. But so it is. The Scripture speaks of walking so as to “please God.” The Scripture says there are sacrifices with which “God is well-pleased.” (1 Thes. 4:1; Heb. 13:16.) The husbandman loves to see the plants on which he has bestowed labor flourishing and bearing fruit. It cannot but disappoint and grieve him to see them stunted and standing still. Now what does our Lord Himself say? “I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.” - “Herein is my Father glorified, that you bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.” (John 15:1, 8.) The Lord takes pleasure in all His people - but specially in those that grow.
Preheat the oven to 225 F Spread the crumbs on a baking sheet and dry and
toast them in the oven 5 to 10 minutes. Melt the butter in the water in a
large skillet. Add the celery and onions, and sauté until the onions have
absorbed the butter and are limp. Don't brown them. Add the apples,
raisins, bread crumbs, baking powder, rosemary, and the Madeira or brandy.
Season with salt/pepper to taste and toss well with a fork. If the stuffing
seems overly dry, add an egg or a little chicken stock. Stuff a crown roast
of pork or a turkey per your pork/turkey baking times/temps or place in a
casserole dish and bake uncovered at 325 F until browned, about 25 minutes.
