We Love God!

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

For the Christian, joy is a deep-seated belief of the heart that trusts God regardless of the circumstances. It’s connected to faith knowing that He is in control and working everything in your life for good. It’s knowing that He always loves you. It’s knowing that this life is short, and thanks to the work of Christ, you will be with Him for all of eternity. It’s knowing that even your worst times are under the sovereign dominion of God, producing in you your greatest goal – Christlikeness. Therefore, the pursuit of joy in Christ is commanded in the Bible. It’s even produced in us by the power of the Holy Spirit. Our greatest joy will always be in Christ. And when we reach this pinnacle, God will be most glorified in us.

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.

INGREDIENTS

3/4 lb Rigatoni
3/4 lb Ground chicken; white meat only
2 tb Fennel seeds; roughly chopped
1 sm Egg white
1 c Heavy cream; cold
1 ts Salt
1/2 ts Freshly-ground black pepper
2 ds Hot sauce
1 ts Olive oil
=== CREAM SAUCE ===
2 c Heavy cream
1/2 c Freshly-grated Parmesan cheese
1 ts Salt
1/2 ts Freshly-ground white pepper
2 tb Chopped fresh chives; for garnish

INSTRUCTIONS

Cook rigatoni in a large pot of rapidly boiling salted water until al
dente, about 8 minutes. Drain well in a colander, shaking vigorously. Cool
on an oiled cookie sheet or clean countertop until nearly dry and toss with
1 tablespoon olive oil to coat. Reserve. Puree chicken, fennel, and egg
white in a food processor until smooth, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a bowl
nested inside a larger bowl half-filled with iced water. Stir until evenly
chilled. Add cream, a quarter-cup at a time, stirring vigorously with a
wooden spoon after each addition, until all is added. Stir in salt, pepper,
and hot sauce. (At this stage, the stuffing can be stored in refrigerator
up to 24 hours.) To stuff rigatoni, fill a pastry bag fitted with a #4
plain tip with chicken mixture and stuff rigatoni from both ends. Reserve.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. To make sauce, combine cream, Parmesan cheese,
salt, and pepper in a medium ovenproof skillet. Bring to a boil. Add
stuffed rigatoni, return to a boil, then transfer to oven. Bake until sauce
is thick and bubbly, and rigatoni is cooked through, about 10 minutes.
Spoon into serving bowls or plates, sprinkle with chives, and serve hot.
This recipe yields 4 to 6 servings.
