God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
No growing occurs, however, without the realization that we cannot progress in our faithfulness to God without the supernatural work of the Spirit. This acknowledgment keeps us from pride in our maturity, or from too hasty judgment of others’ spiritual condition. For instance, I can be tempted to take pride in my parenting by virtue of my children’s wonderful record of scholarship and conduct. However, I may learn upon my entry into heaven that the reason God so blessed me was that my faith was too weak to have persevered with the more troubled children of other Christian parents (whom I too frequently judge for the apparent failings). The challenges of raising a child are as much for the sanctification of the parents as they are for the benefit of the child. Perhaps this is the reason that childbearing and rearing come so early in our adult life cycle. Growing families are God’s pressure cooker to mature many of us quickly for the spiritual trials that he knows are ahead. Only the Spirit knows what is best for the spiritual nurture of each individual, and he matures us by means natural and supernatural that will be fully revealed to us only in glory. Our cause for rejoicing now, however, is faith that our union with Christ makes available to us the work of the Spirit that enables us to change.
You weren’t created for boredom or burnout or bondage to sexual lust or greed or ambition but for the incomparable pleasure and matchless joy that knowing Jesus alone can bring. Only then, in Him, will you encounter the life-changing, thirst-quenching, soul-satisfying delight that God, for His glory, created you to experience.
Method: Sieve dry ingredients into a mixing bowl and make a well in the
centre. Add melted butter and mix. Beat egg lightly in a seperate bowl and
add milk to it. Now gradually stir egg-milk mixture into dry
ingredients-butter mixture. Remove any lumps by beating lightly. Lastly add
tin of sweet corn and mix into a fluid consistency. (Add more milk if
batter is too stiff).
Drop tablespoons full into hot oil (preferably using a non-stick pan) and
fry until golden brown on both sides. Drain on paper towels and serve warm
with coffee or tea.
