God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
Easiness of desire is a great enemy to the success of a good man's prayer. It must be an intent, zealous, busy, operative prayer. For consider what a huge indecency it is that a man should speak to God for a thing that he values not. Our prayers upbraid our spirits when we beg tamely for those things for which we ought to die. Things which are more precious than Imperial Scepters, richer than the spoils of the sea or the treasures of the Indian hills.

1
(4-5 pound) chicken
Marinade for roast chicken
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Wipe chicken with a damp cloth. Dry well with paper toweling; or hang up
to dry in a cool, airy place for 1 to 2 hours. Transfer to a deep bowl.
2. Prepare any marinade for roast chicken (see any recipe "... for Roast
Chicken": "Five Spices", "Scallion-Honey", "Tangerine Peel", or "Hoisin".)
Then pour over chicken and rub into skin. Let stand 1 to 2 hours, turning
occasionally. Drain, reserving marinade.
3. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place chicken on a rack over a drip pan
containing several inches of water (this will keep the drippings from
burning). Roast until bird is tender and browned, basting with marinade at
15-minute intervals and turning bird occasionally. (Allow about 30 minutes
roasting time per pound.)
4. With a cleaver, chop chicken, bones and all, in 2-inch sections; or
carve Western-style, and serve. VARIATION: After step 2, brush bird with
melted chicken fat.

A Message from our Provider:
“Let Him therefore send and do what He will. By His grace, if we are His, we will face it, bow to it, accept it, and give thanks for it. God’s Providence is always executed in the ‘wisest manner’ possible. We are often unable to see and understand the reasons and causes for specific events in our lives, in the lives of others, or in the history of the world. But our lack of understanding does not prevent us from believing God. #Don Fortner”
