God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
Proverbs 1:7, 'The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction' (cf. 9:10). Do you see an interesting connection? Knowledge of the Lord's ways dispels fear, but the beginning of knowledge is fearing the Lord? Could it be the more we fear displeasing God and approach Him with reverential awe, the greater He will appropriate Himself in our lives? And the more we have of God, the less we will battle the short-lived, trivial fears of the world? Could it be that if we fear God there will be no one and nothing else left to fear? Wasn't this the teaching of Jesus? 'Do not fear those who kill the body but are unable to kill the soul; but rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell' (Mt. 10:28).
Satan hates God’s children. It is his utmost ambition to see us fail in our spiritual responsibilities. Specifically, his goal is to do whatever it takes to take us off the spiritual front lines. Doubt. Distractions. Greater love for other things. Sin. Laziness. It’s subtle, its strategic, it's sinister. His methods are predictable, but missed by those spiritually asleep and not alert. That’s why we read in 1 Peter 5:8, “Be on the alert. Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.”
SAUCE
Find a saucepan that's wide enough to hold the asparagus spears
lengthwise and set it over medium-high heat. Fill about three quarters with
water, add the salt and bring to a boil. Plunge the spears into the boiling
water, return to a boil and cook until the spears are just tender when
pierced with a fork, about 2 to minutes depending on their thicknes (do not
overcook). Rinse under cold running water to stop the cooking, then drain
on a clean kitchen towel.
To prepare the sauce, whisk together the orange juice, orange rind, olive
oil sesame oil, and coarse salt and pepper until well blended. Arrange the
asparagus on a large serving platter with dipping sauce on the side. Serve
warm or cold.
