If only for a moment, take your eyes off yourself and your circumstances, off the ways of this world and all rival claimants, and look at who God is. Ponder His mighty deeds. This isn’t to say your soul or circumstances aren’t important. It simply means that you are in the hands of an omnipotent God whose ability to act on your behalf is equaled only by His passionate affection for you as His child, whose strength is without end and whose sovereignty covers the expanse of the heavens. God’s desire isn’t to minimize your life and struggles and disappointments. His intent is for you to gain hope, knowing that nothing can wrench you from the loving arms of a God like this!

bake in a 350 degrees to 400 degrees oven until almost all the water is
absorbed.
In a saut=82 pan, melt the butter and saut=02 the diced carrot, celery and
onion until the vegetables are soft and the onions are translucent. Remove
from the heat and set aside.
Remove the rice pan from the oven.  Mix in the saut=82ed vegetable, the
shrimps, clams, fish fillets, chicken, sausages, artichoke hearts, red
pepper strips and garlic.  Stir in the lemon juice, saffron and Madeira and
arrange from the mussels around the outsided edge of the pan.
Sprinkle the surface with the diced tomato and halved black olives, cover
and return to the oven until the mussels open and the rice, fish and
chicken are cooked through.  The rice should be dry, not mushy.
Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve on large plates arranging
the mussels around the edge of the plates.  Garnish with parsley and lemon
wedges.
