God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
We put off all worry (Philippians 4:6) by bringing everything to God in prayer with a heart of thanksgiving. Could Paul have made his point any clearer? He uses three terms for the same activity in this verse: “Prayer,” “Supplication,” and “Requests made known to God.” Here is the solution to the sin we all struggle with: Be anxious for nothing, prayer about everything. Or put another way, instead of taking your troubling matters in your own impotent hands, place your matters in God’s omnipotent hands. Worry is a preoccupation with yourself. Prayer is a preoccupation with God. Which preoccupation will bring you the greatest joy (Philippians 4:4)? Which one will bring you the greatest peace (Philippians 4:7)?
I want deliberately to encourage this mighty longing after God. The lack of it has brought us to our present low estate. The stiff and wooden quality about our religious lives is a result of our lack of holy desire. Complacency is a deadly foe of all spiritual growth. Acute desire must be present or there will be no manifestation of Christ to His people. He waits to be wanted. Too bad that with many of us He waits so long, so very long, in vain.
FILLING:
GLAZE:
Mix crust ingredients together and press into bottom and against
sides of a 9 inch springform pan. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 10
minutes. Cool before filling. Drain apricots, saving syrup. Sprinkle
gelatin over cold water in top of double boiler; let stand 5 minutes.
Mix in lightly beaten egg yolks and 1/4 cup apricot syrup. Place over
hot water; cook, stirring, until slightly thickened, about 10
minutes. Remove from heat, stir in vanilla and cool to lukewarm.
Meanwhile, puree 2 cups apricot halves to get a measure of 1 1/2
cups. Save remaining 1/2-3/4 cup apricot halves for topping. Beat egg
until it forms a stiff meringue. Set aside. With same beater, beat
cream cheese with egg yolk mixture and pureed apricots. Fold in
meringue; pour into crust. Chill several hours until firm. While cake
is chilling, prepare Apricot Glaze. Combine all ingredients in a
saucepan and cook over medium-high heat until mixture comes to a boil
and thickens. Cool slightly before glazing cheesecake. Trim top of
cake with remaining apricot halves and the Apricot Glaze.
