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

When the law was written on tablets of stone, there was a significant weakness. The weakness of the Old Covenant was not in the law. The weakness of the Old Covenant was the people’s hearts. They couldn’t keep the law because they lacked two basic ingredients. Both of them interestingly were mentioned in the Old Testament when God used His prophets to speak while under the Old Covenant of the coming New Covenant. First, as God said through Jeremiah, “I will put My law within them and on their heart I will write it” (Jer. 31:34). The writing of the law went from tablets of stone to tablets of human hearts (2 Cor. 3:3). And second, as God said through Ezekiel, “I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will be careful to observe My ordinances” (Eze. 36:27). We by far have greater power to obey the law with the fullness of the Holy Spirit dwelling within us as God says, “causing” us to obey. So there should be a radical difference between us and Israel. It’s not in the God we serve. It’s not in the desire to obey Him. It’s not in the faith of a Messiah to take away our sins. It’s not in a law that is given from God to be obeyed. It’s not even in a delight in that law. The difference is simply this. The Old Covenant is characterized by people who were stiff-necked and rebellious (Dt. 9:6; 10:16; 31:27), whereas the New Covenant is characterized by people who have soft hearts and the ability to obey.

The fear of the Lord is: a choice (Pr 1:29), the principle part of knowledge (Pr 1:7), to hate evil (Pr 8:13), not to envy sinners (Pr 23:17), his treasure (Isa 33:6). The benefits of fearing the Lord: strong confidence (Pr 14:26), fountain of life (Pr 14:27), instruction of wisdom (Pr 15:33), tends to life (Pr 19:23), satisfaction (Pr 19:23), protection (Pr 19:23), riches, honor, life (Pr 22:4), God’s covenant revealed (Ps 25:12-14) and increased trust in God; no fear (Ps 112:1,7,8).

-0700 Put first five ingredients into a  large bowl. Beat for 3
minutes. Pour into greased 9"x12" pan. Bake at  350 degrees for 30
minutes or until cake springs back when lightly  depressed. Place on
rack.  Grate the rind of the lemons. Extract the juice. Mix
confectioners  sugar, lemon juice and rind (a blender does a nice job).
Drizzle over  hot cake. Pierce top of cake generously with a fork. Let
cool and  mellow.  This cake is so moist that one eats it with a fork.
It makes a pretty  dessert buffet presentation when cut into squares,
put into pastel  paper muffin papers, and arranged on a large platter.
Assorted grapes  are a good accompaniment.  REC.FOOD.RECIPES ARCHIVES
