Name: Blackberry Jam
Ingredients: 10 c Blackberries; 1/4 c Lemon juice; 6 c Granulated sugar

Worship is giving God the best that He has given you. Be careful what you do with the best you have. Whenever you get a blessing from God, give it back to Him as a love gift. Take time to meditate before God and offer the blessing back to Him in a deliberate act of worship. If you hoard a thing for yourself, it will turn into spiritual dry rot, as the manna did when it was hoarded. God will never let you hold a spiritual thing for yourself; it has to be given back to Him that He may make it a blessing to others.

A Message from our Provider:

“Been falsely accused of the most awful things? Then you know how God feels”

People are not truly grieved by the sins in others, which they complacently expose and condemn. Too often they seem to delight in having discovered something unbeautiful in a neighbor, and they swoop down upon the blemish – like a vulture on carrion! If ever criticism is indulged in – it should be with deep grief for the friend, that the fault exists in him; and with sincere desire that for his sake it be removed; and then the criticism should be made, not in the ear of the world – but “between him and you alone.”

J.R. Miller

Are you seeking first God’s kingdom (Luke 12:31)? Such an attitude reveals a heart that is set on God. So, the more we begin to serve God and trust God and praise God and seek God, the less we will worry (Luke 12:22, 29, 32). Worry is evidence that we desire to serve and trust and seek ourselves. But when we find in God our total sufficiency, we will glorify Him in the process and receive the promised peace and contentment that surpasses all understanding. When our treasure is in heaven, our hearts will follow. When our hearts are in heaven we will not worry about the things of this world.
