Name: Hornet's Nest Cake
Ingredients: 1 Box yellow cake mix; 1 sm Box vanilla cook & serve pudding; 2 c Milk; (to prepare pudding mix); 6 oz Butterscotch morsels; 1 c Nuts; chopped

God’s emotional life is infinitely complex beyond our ability to fully comprehend. For example, who can comprehend that the Lord hears in one moment of time the prayers of ten million Christians around the world, and sympathizes with each one personally and individually like a caring Father (as Hebrews 4:15 says He will), even though among those ten million prayers some are broken-hearted and some are bursting with joy? How can God weep with those who weep and rejoice with those who rejoice when they are both coming to Him at the same time – in fact are always coming to Him with no break at all? Or who can comprehend that God is angry at the sin of the world every day (Psalm 7:11), and yet every day, every moment, He is rejoicing with tremendous joy because somewhere in the world a sinner is repenting (Luke 15:7, 10, 23)? Who can comprehend that God continually burns with hot anger at the rebellion of the wicked, grieves over the unholy speech of his people (Ephesians 4:29-30), yet takes pleasure in them daily (Psalm 149:4), and ceaselessly makes merry over penitent prodigals who come home?

1	sm	Box vanilla cook & serve pudding
2	c	Milk; (to prepare pudding mix)
6	oz	Butterscotch morsels
1	c	Nuts; chopped

INSTRUCTIONS

Cook pudding as directed on package and let cool. Mix pudding and dry cake
mix well. (You can beat for 2 minutes for a lighter cake, but it is not
necessary. The cake comes out moist and dense and very good this way).
Preheat oven to 350.
Spread batter in a 9x13x2" pan. Sprinkle with butterscotch morsels and
nuts. Bake for 25 minutes in a preheated 350 oven.
My Note: Recipe didn't say anything about greasing the pan. I used Pam and
it worked fine.

A Message from our Provider:

“God Answers Knee Mail”

Prayerful waiting on God is indispensable to effective service. Like the time-out in a football game, it enables us to catch our breath and fix new strategy. As we wait for directions, the Lord frees us from the tyranny of the urgent. He shows us the truth about Himself, ourselves, and our tasks. He impresses on our minds the assignments He want us to undertake. The need itself is not the call; the call must come from the God who knows our limitation. 'The Lord pities those who fear Him. For He knows our frame; He remembers that we are dust' (Psalm 103:13-14). It is not God who loads us until we bend or crack with an ulcer, nervous breakdown, heart attack, or stroke. These come from our inner compulsions coupled with the pressure of circumstances.
