We Love God!

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

Appearances can be deceptive. The fact that we cannot see what God is doing does not mean that He is doing nothing. The Lord has His own timetable. It is we who must learn to adjust to it, not vice versa. When God’s time comes nothing will stand in His way. We can therefore wait for Him with this happy confidence: “As for God, His way is perfect” (2 Samuel 22:31).
Sinclair Ferguson

Work is so foundational to our makeup that it is one of the few things we can take in significant doses without harm. Indeed, the Bible does not say we should work one day and rest six, or that work and rest should be balanced evenly - but directs us to the opposite ration. Leisure and pleasure are great goods, but we can only take so much of them. If you ask people in nursing homes or hospitals how they are doing, you will often heart that their main regret is that they wish they had something to do, some way to be useful to others.

INSTRUCTIONS

FOR THE CHILLI
FOR THE AVOCADO SALSA
OPTIONAL GARNISHES
To make the chilli: Heat a large frying pan over a moderate heat and
saute the beef pieces in the oil until evely browned.
Meanwhile in a large casserole, saut. the onion and garlic in the
remaining oil, until soft and just lightly browned. Add the cumin,
chilli powder, jalepenos, and the oregano, and cook for 3 minutes.
Now the remaining ingredients, except for the black beans. Bring to
the boil, and then lower the heat, and simmer for 1 1/2-2 hours, or
until the meat is very tender and the sauce nicely reduced. Finally
add the drained black beans, and cook out for another 15 minutes.
To make the salsa: First scald the chopped red onion by pouring 500ml
(18fl oz)of boiling water over it. Then immediately drain through a
sieve. Now combine all the ingredients and allow the flavours to
combine for at least 1/2 hour before using.
Or try this: Take a fresh baguette or ciabatta, preferably a day old,
and slice in half length wise. Toast under the grill, and place a
generous piece on a warmed plate. Ladle some of the chilli onto the
bread, sprinkle with grated cheese, and toast under a hot grill for a
couple of minutes, until the cheese is melting and bubbling. Serve at
once.
Make a vegetarian chili by removing the beef, and bulking up the
chilli with saut.d courgette, and/or eggplant.
Tips: A chilli only gets better with a day in the fridge. The
flavours get a chance to really blend together and develop. Some
skinned, seeded, and diced tomato would go very nicely in the salsa.
