God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
[Personal differences have many advantages]:
They can encourage us to search the Scriptures (Psm. 119:71-72).
They can help us think carefully about how and what we think or what we believe (Pro. 15:28).
They can help us work harder at communicating effectively (Eph. 4:25).
They can produce maturity and endurance (Jas. 1:2-5).
They can help us sharpen one another (Pr. 27:17).
They can strengthen our faith in the truth that God is working all things for our good (Rom. 8:28-29).
They give us opportunity to practice servanthood and preferring one another (Phil. 2:2-3).
They give us opportunity to love and glorify God (1 Cor. 10:31-32).
God has a fixed will. The world is not governed by theoretical possibilities. Yet we are commanded to pray, and our prayer has value. It’s woven into His sovereign will. We joyfully bring our desires to the Father. However, we submit ourselves to Him for the outcome. Like Jesus in the Garden, we pray His will, not our will be done.
Soak the chickpeas in cool water to cover overnight; drain. Soak the
porcini in warm water for 30 minutes; drain and chop. Saute the porcini,
mushrooms, garlic, rosemary, and thyme in 1 teaspoon of the olive oil with
a pinch of salt until tender, about 10 minutes. Place the drained chickpeas
in a pot of cool water, bring to a boil, and
cook until tender; do the same with the lentils. Pass half of the chickpeas
and lentils through a food mill, and place them in one pot with the whole
chickpeas and lentils. Add enough of the cooking liquid from the chickpeas
and lentils to thin the soup to the desired consistency, and stir in the
sauteed mushrooms. Bring to a boil and simmer for 5 minutes. Drizzle with
the remaining olive oil and serve with the cubed bread.
NOTES : This hearty soup is quite filling because of all the legumes. All
you need to complete the meal is a salad of slivered red and yellow peppers
and paper-thin fennel tossed with a red wine vinegar and olive oil dressing
accented by tarragon.
