God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
Why do soldiers first experience boot camp? Because they need to be taught how to push their body, overcome the desire to quit and grow beyond the pain. The mind way too often gives in before the body gives out. Likewise, why did the Apostle Paul say, “I discipline my body and make it my slave” (1 Cor. 9:27). The Christian life is not about listening to our bodies and giving into its desires (gluttony, drunkenness, slothfulness, sexual immorality), but rather mastering our bodies and making the body a slave to a biblically controlled mind. This is the difference between being controlled by the flesh or being led by the Spirit (Gal. 5). Exercise, in order to be effective, pushes the body beyond its comfort zone. Diets push the body beyond its comfort zone. These make the body your slave and no longer your master. These produce discipline. And coming full circle, discipline is essential for us to mortify sin (cf. 1 Pet. 4:1-2).
In a large saucepan, place chicken, onion, lemon, and pepper. Cover with
water. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer, covered, 30 to 40 minutes
or until chicken is tender. Reserve 2 Tsp broth. Drain chicken breasts and
cool. Remove and discard skin and bones. Cut chicken into narrow strips.
In a small bowl, stir together orange juice, reserved broth, garlic, chili
powder, oregano, and salt. Coat chicken pieces with mixture. Cover and
let marinate in the refrigerator at least 2 hours [overnight is fine, too].
Heat oil in skillet over medium heat. Add chicken and cook about 5
minutes or until heated through, turning as needed.
Serve in warm flour tortillas with any or all of the following
accompaniments: Fresh chopped tomatoes; sliced onions; guacamole; salsa;
refried beans; grated cheese.
