We Love God!

God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

The fear of the Lord tends to take away all other fears… This is the secret of Christian courage and boldness.
Sinclair Ferguson

Augustine rightly said, 'Fear is the response of the human heart when its one thing is threatened.' God has blessed all of our lives with many good things. We are to enjoy them and acknowledge God in gratitude, but we dare not make these good things our 'one thing', for in doing so, they become idols in our hearts. Like Augustine said, when we foolishly make these good things our one thing, fear will result when they are threatened. As a matter of fact, fear, worry, and anxiety are a good indication that we have created idols and feel in danger of losing them. Therefore, Christ's goal is to pull our heart away from these false gods and place our heart on the true God. Do you remember how Jesus praised Mary over Martha? Why? Because she chose God as her one thing. 'But the Lord answered and said to her, ';Martha, Martha, you are worried and bothered about so many things [and they were good things!]; but only one thing is necessary, for Mary has chosen the good part, which shall not be taken away from her ';' (Lk. 10:41-42). So when God is our one thing, we never need to fear because our one thing is never threatened nor will He ever be removed from our presence.

In a mixing bowl beat the butter with the cream cheese with an electric
mixer. Gradually add the sugar. Beat until light and fluffy, about 5
minutes. Add the eggs, beating well after each addition. Add the flour.
Pour the batter into a well greased and floured bundt cake pan. Bake at 325
degrees for 1 hour and 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out
clean. Invert onto a cooling rack and let cool completely. Sprinkle with
confectioner's sugar.
It bakes lighter than the usual pound cake, but it got rave reviews from my
father (the birthday boy) as well as the rest of the family.
