God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
It was [Paul’s] mission as the “apostle to the Gentiles,” and it is the universal church’s mission as well, to promote that harmony of cultures in Christ that the cross brings them (or, we might say, forces upon them for their good). Imagine what it took for this former Jewish leader to accept that the Jews’ lofty position as God’s chosen people is not ultimately about ethnic Jews, but only Jewish Christians who share the position with “Gentile dogs” who have also become Christians. The promises made to the Jews are for all who are in Christ; the inheritance is both for Jews and Gentiles. We are all members of one body. The immensity of this new knowledge is not only enough to cause every God-fearing Jew to scream curses at Paul, but is the very reason Gentiles like me have any hope whatsoever. Paul carried this message everywhere.
There is nothing - no circumstance, no trouble, no testing - that can ever touch me until, first of all, it has gone past God and past Christ right through to me. If it has come that far, it has come with a great purpose, which I may not understand at the moment. But as I refuse to become panicky, as I lift up my eyes to Him and accept it as coming from the throne of God for some great purpose of blessing to my own heart, no sorrow will ever disturb me, no trial will ever disarm me, no circumstance will cause my to fret - for I shall rest in the joy of what my Lord is! That is the rest of victory!
In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add carrots, onion,
celery and potato and saute until the onion is translucent 2-3 minutes. Add
white wine, water, cream, thyme, bay leaf and all but a handful of shrimp.
Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, cover and simmer gently for 20 minutes.
In small batches, puiree in a food processor. Return soup to the pan and
season with salt, pepper, hot sauce and Worcestershire sauce. Cut the
remaining shrimp into small chunks and add to the soup. Simmer gently until
cooked through, 2-3 minutes. Garnish with parsley.
