God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
In the Puritan tradition George Whitefield wonderfully exemplified in his preaching a stable understanding of divine sovereignty and human responsibility. He used to place lost sinners in a vice. He pressed home the necessity of repentance. But the lost sinner is a slave. He cannot repent. Yet to be saved he must repent. He cannot. He must. His only recourse is to look away from himself to the one who can save. His escape route is cut off. There is no help in himself. His only hope is to call on God for mercy. And a God of mercy will never cast out those who come to Him in faith.
Are not our prayers so often ineffective and powerless – and sometimes even prayerless – because we rush unthinkingly and unpreparedly into God’s presence, without realizing the majesty and glory of the God Whom we are approaching, and without reflecting upon the exceeding great riches of His glory in Christ Jesus, which we hope to draw upon?
First, brown your ground beef and onion over medium-high heat. Add the
onion soup to taste and the water. You can add more and taste it as the mix
tends to be salty. Cook this mixture about 5-10 minutes and add pepper if
you like.
Push the ground beef to one side of the pan and sprinkle the flour in while
stirring the broth briskly. Careful here! It will lump quite easily. The
idea is to make a gravy and if you like, you can dissolve the flour in a
little cold water before stirring in. Bring back to a boil and add more
water if you like a thinner gravy.
Pour this meat mixture into a large casserole dish such as a 13x9 oblong
baking pan. Add the frozen vegetables and top with the prepared mashed
potatoes. Bake about 30-40 minutes, uncovered, in a 350 degree oven. Serves
well with a simple salad and about 6 hungry people, possibly with some left
for lunch the next day. Reheats well.
