God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
As husbands sacrifice their lives for the sake of their wives - loving, leading, serving, protecting, and providing for them – the world gets a glimpse of God's grace. Sinners see that Christ has gone to a cross where He suffered, bled, and died for them so that they could experience eternal salvation through submission to Him. They also see in a wife's relationship with her husband that such submission isn't a burden to bear. Marriage onlookers observe a wife joyfully and continually experiencing her husband's sacrificial love for her and then gladly and spontaneously submitting in selfless love to him. In this visible representation of the gospel, the world realizes that following Christ isn't a matter of forced duty. Instead, it's a means to full, eternal, and absolute delight.
This depression comes over me whenever the Lord is preparing a larger blessing for my ministry; the cloud is black before it breaks, and overshadows before it yields its deluge of mercy. Depression has now become to me as a prophet in rough clothing, a John the Baptist, heralding the nearer coming of my Lord's richer benison. So have far better men found it. The scouring of the vessel has fitted it for the Master's use. Immersion in suffering has preceded the baptism of the Holy Ghost. Fasting gives an appetite for the banquet. The Lord is revealed in the backside of the desert, while his servant keepeth the sheep and waits in solitary awe. The wilderness is the way to Canaan. The low valley leads to the towering mountain. Defeat prepares for victory.

In a small bowl, soften yeast in water for 10 minutes. Stir well.
In a 2- quart bowl, combine flour and sugar. Mix thoroughly or the flour
will lump when the milk is added. Slowly stir in warm milk and softened
yeast mixture. Cover loosely and let stand at room temperature until
bubbly. Refigerate. Consider this day 1 of the 10 day cycle.
Day 2 through 4: Stir with a spoon (any kind)
Day 5 To feed, blend flour and sugar in a small bowl; slowly mix in milk
with a spoon,whisk or hand mixer. Stir mixture into starter. Return to
refrigerator.
Day 6 through 9: Stir
Day 10 ( which becomes Day 1 for the next series) Feed again.
Note: Consider the 10-day cycle a guide; it does not have to be followed
exactly. If you need more starter, feed it more often. The starter is a
yeast culture and will grow when fed. To hasten growth, leave starter at
room temp for several hours.
After feeding the starter, Choose from among the following:
1. Return starter to refrigerator.
2. Remove what you need for baking and leave it at room temperature until
very bubbly. Return remainder to refrig- erator and continue to follow the
10-day cycle. If yoy are getting to much, cut the "food" in half on one
feeding. Don't let starter drop below 1 cup, because rejuvenating it to
usable amounts takes several days.
3. Measure out 1 cup lots to give to friends or put in the freezer.
4. Frozen starter takes at least 3 hours at room temperature to thaw and
come to life.
