Everyone knows what stew is. It’s the meat-and-vegetable dish you put in a pot, simmer in a slow boil, and then eat. Yet Webster’s Encyclopedic Dictionary offers another definition. It describes stew as “a state of being agitated, disturbed.” This same definition also includes the phrase “stewing in one’s own juices” – meaning, “to allow trouble and agitation to simmer; to continue in a disturbed state of mind.”
We Americans tend to overlap these two meanings of the word “stew.” Whenever we want to describe our troubled emotions, for instance, we use cooking terms. For example:
An upset person is said to be “steamed.” And a very angry person is thought of as being “boiling mad.” When someone rages excessively, his “mind is fried.” Indeed, human emotions are sometimes described in terms of tap water: hot, cold or lukewarm.
Such expressions abound in the workplace. Many people describe their office as a “pressure cooker.” The phrase “turning up the heat” means to put on pressure. When someone is lethargic, his coworkers say, “Somebody ought to light a fire under him.” And when someone can’t handle the pressure, he’s told, “If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.” Likewise, someone who’s making progress is “really cooking.”
A house that’s overheated is described as being “hot as an oven.” And a frigid home is said to be “cold as a deep freeze.”
In this message, I want to focus on the expression “stewing in one’s own juices.” The fact is, Jesus taught eternal truths by using everyday illustrations – parables, stories and familiar expressions of his day. And I believe “stewing in one’s own juices” is a modern-day expression that can reveal much to us about our walk with Christ.
I Pray That What I Have to Share With You About This Expression Will Offer Life-Changing Truth!
Not long ago, I preached a message about our need to show charity to those closest to us. In that message, I spoke about the sinfulness of being easily provoked.
I was so convicted by what the Lord showed me on this subject, I determined to deal a death blow to this sin in my life. After much prayer and seeking God, I was convinced I had victory. I thought, “By God’s grace, I will never again become easily provoked. I’ll always stop and pray, count to ten, and trust the Holy Ghost to calm my spirit. He’ll help me to turn the other cheek and walk away.”
Well, my “victory” lasted just four days. That’s when I received a phone call from a close friend – a call that took me by surprise. My friend said something to me I felt was cutting – and I resented it deeply. It disturbed me so much, I cut short the conversation. I didn’t hang up on him – but he knew I was truly provoked.
