It is possible to endure in this life but to do it in a self-righteous, resentful survivor-spirit that is self-pitying and angry at those who do not shoulder the burden with you while being inwardly proud of your grit. Instead of the fruit of the Spirit, there is bitterness and joylessness. In truth, God may not consider this kind of life to be one of endurance, and certainly not one of “great endurance” (2 Cor. 6:4). Paul endured with the inner graces of the Spirit. Sweet endurance is what the Scripture here enjoins… Sweet in-Spirited endurance testiﬁes to the reality of Christ and that He is worth our trust and service.

INSTRUCTIONS

Trim all fat from meat.  Slice meat with the grain to about 1/4" to 1/2"
thick.  The meat slices nicely when semi-frozen, or your butcher will slice
it for you in his machine.  Place meat in the cool marinade and leave
overnight, or for no less than 8 hours.
Remove from brine and allow to air dry without rinsing.  Smoke in your
smoker for 12 to 16 hours or until jerky has dried out to your liking. Use
your favorite fuel for smoking.
