We Love God!

God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

God wants us to follow a recurring pattern of intense work and then rest, intense work and then rest, and so forth. Whatever view one takes of the Sabbath, surely the six days of work and the one day of rest embedded in the creation remain relevant in some sense. Any routine of life that is unsustainable long-term cannot be of God. He calls us to work. But he also calls us to rest, in order to work most fruitfully. What sets us apart is this. We rest, in order to work; we do not work, in order to rest. We who believe the gospel are not living for the weekend, but for The End. In the meantime, we figure out rhythms of life that make fruitful labor sustainable.
Ray Ortlund

The essence of gospel-humility is not thinking more of myself or thinking less of myself, it is thinking of myself less… True gospel-humility means I stop connecting every experience, every conversation, with myself. In fact, I stop thinking about myself. The freedom of self-forgetfulness. The blessed rest that only self-forgetfulness brings.

This was last night's dinner. Scrumptious! Although it takes about 45 min
to prepare, there is a long period where there's nothing to do, so I think
it's suitable for a work night. Shulman thinks it serves 4-6 people. We
think 3 (generously) or 4 (or two for dinner and one for lunch.).
Recipe By: Martha Rose Shulman's Main-Dish Salads
Bring the water to a boil and add the rice.  Add salt to taste, bring back
to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 40 minutes, until the
rice is tender. Drain and toss with the broccoli, nuts, and parsley.
[Meanwhile, steam broccoli and chop nuts.]
Mix together the lemon juice, vinegar, garlic, and yogurt.  Whisk in the
walnut oil and add salt and pepper.  Toss with the rice mixture, correct
the seasonings, and serve; or refrigerate until shortly before serving.
Note: If the salad is to be refrigerated for a long time, add the broccoli
and parsley shortly before serving to retain their bright color.
[Shulman says this serves 4-6. We think 3-4.]
