God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
Perfectionism means striving for an impossibly high standard, usually for selfish ends. In the case of those who are anorexic, the perfectionist drive centers on having the perfect body and eating perfectly; but the underlying issues are selfish motives and sinful desires. Their distorted mind-set descends into bizarre thinking and behaviors because they are actually worshipping themselves. Hardened by their own pride, they become willing to destroy their own body and sacrifice themselves in the pursuit of their ideal self-image. Blinded by their self-righteousness, they cannot see Christ as their righteousness.
It often astonishes me that I did not see the importance of meditation upon Scripture earlier in my Christian life. As the outward man is not fit for work for any length of time unless he eats, so it is with the inner man. What is the food for the inner man? Not prayer, but the Word of God – not the simple reading of the Word of God, so that it only passes through our minds, just as water runs through a pipe. No, we must consider what we read, ponder over it, and apply it to our hearts.
Combine garlic, lemon juice, oil, wine and salt. Pour over chicken in
shallow baking pan. Marinate at least 3 hours, turning frequently. Heat
oven to 375 degrees. Sprinkle chicken generously with paprika. Bake 45-55
min or until tender. Arrange chicken in heated platter. Serve sauce
separately. If a thicker sauce is desired, after removing chicken blend 1
tbsp soft butter and 1 tbsp flour together thoroughly; heat sauce in baking
pan; stir in flour mixture. Continue stirring until sauce thickens and
bubbles. 4 servings.
