God did not rescue Paul in Asia (2 Cor. 1:8-11) or spare Epaphroditus from death (Phil. 1:27) in order to encourage others to seek a miraculous deliverance from affliction. Rather, these acts of deliverance were intended to encourage Paul and the rest of God's people to endure suffering in their own lives as a profound testimony of God's sufficiency (2 Cor. 1:6; 4:7-12; Phil. 4:6). This side of Christ's return, God does not reveal His power and love in our lives primarily by performing miracles but by enabling us to persevere in the midst of adversity because of our trust in Him. God rescued Paul in the past to teach him to trust God for his future, in order that he might endure in the present.

INGREDIENTS

1	md	Celery root (3-inch diameter), peeled,
		Washed, and thinly sliced
1	c	Beef stock
2	tb	To 3 tb salad oil
		Wine vinegar
		Salt
1	pn	Sugar
1	sm	Onion, finely chopped

INSTRUCTIONS

Put the freshly sliced celery root immediately into the stock which should
be flavored with 1 tablespoon each oil and vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, the
sugar, and the chopped onion. Cook for about 20 minutes - until the celery
root is quite tender and the liquid has almost boiled away. Season the
celery root and beef stock with the remaining oil and a dash or two of wine
vinegar, as well as with salt if you wish.
Note:  If the salad is to be served as an appetizer, mix in some coarsely
chopped walnut and garnish with a few walnut halves.
Nowadays, in this age of crudites, it may be more usual to substitute
grated uncooked celery root, marinated in oil and vinegar, and possibly
mixed with grated raw carrot.
Makes 2 - 3 cups.
