God has provided all we need for our pursuit of holiness. He has delivered us from the reign of sin and given us His indwelling Holy Spirit. He has revealed His will for holy living in His Word, and He works in us to will and to act according to His good purpose. He has sent pastors and teachers to exhort and encourage us in the path of holiness; and He answers our prayers when we cry to Him for strength against temptation.

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Wash clams as in step 2 of "Basic Steamed Clams". Place in a deep
heatproof bowl.
2. Slice ginger root; cut scallion stalk in 2-inch sections. Add to bowl
along with sherry and steam as in step 3 of "Basic Steamed Clams".
3. Shell clams, reserving the shells. (Reserve the clam broth for soup.)
4. Mince or grind pork together with clam meat. Blend in cornstarch, soy
sauce, salt and remaining sherry.
5. Stuff mixture into half-shells. Blend the second quantity of cornstarch
to a paste with water; then, with fingertips, rub paste over the stufling
to coat. (This will seal in the mixture.)
6. Heat oil. Carefully lower in clams, stuffing-side up, a few at a time.
Deep-fry, basting with hot oil, until golden. Drain on paper toweling.
7. Combine stock, sugar and remaining soy sauce; then bring to a boil,
stirring.  Add stuffed clams and simmer, covered, 20 minutes.
8. Blend remaining cornstarch and cold water to a paste. Transfer clams to
a warm serving platter, leaving liquids in pan. Stir in cornstarch paste to
thicken; then pour sauce over clams and serve.
