God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
Thankfully, joy is an all-season response to life. Even in the dark times, sorrow enlarges the capacity of the heart for joy. Like a diamond against black velvet, true spiritual joy shines brightest against the darkness of trials, tragedies and testing.
Seeing that all of human nature has been affected by sin, both a person’s perception of the standard of action required and the function of the conscience itself (as a constituent part of human nature) are also affected by sin. For this reason conscience can never be accorded the position of ultimate judge of one’s behavior. It is possible that the conscience may excuse one for that which God will not excuse, and conversely it is equally possible that conscience may condemn a person for that which God allows. The final judgment therefore belongs only to God (cf. 1 Cor. 4:2-5). Nevertheless, to reject the voice of conscience is to court spiritual disaster (cf. 1 Tim. 1:19). We cannot reject the voice of conscience with impunity, but we can modify the highest standard to which it relates by gaining for ourselves a greater understanding of the truth.
GLAZE
Preheat oven to 350 F (175 C). Grease several baking sheets with butter.
In a large bowl, beat butter with sugar until creamy. Beat in egg yolks,
orange flower water and milk. Add currants. Sift flour and salt into bowl;
mix in to form a fairly stiff dough. Knead lightly on a floured surface
until smooth. Roll out to 1/8-inch thickness. Using a round
2-1/2-inch-fluted cookie cutter, cut out circles from dough; place on
prepared baking sheets. Knead and roll out trimmings; cut out more
circles. Continue until dough is used up. Bake cookies 10 minutes. Remove
from oven. Brush cookies with beaten egg white; sprinkle lightly with
superfine sugar. Return to oven for about 5 minutes longer or until
lightly browned. Remove from baking sheets to wire racks; cool. Store in an
airtight container. Source: "The Book of Cookies" by Pat Alburey.
