Do You Know Where You’re Going?

Who out there fears God, actually listens to the voice of his servant?
For anyone out there who doesn’t know where you’re going, anyone groping in the dark,
Here’s what: Trust in God. Lean on your God!
But if all you’re after is making trouble, playing with fire,

Go ahead and see where it gets you. Set your fires, stir people up, blow on the flames,
But don’t expect me to just stand there and watch. I’ll hold your feet to those flames.

Isaiah 50:10-11 The Message

 

Do you fear—that is respect—the Lord?

Do you know where you’re going? Do you trust God to be involved in and guide your life?

What are you after in life? Are you rebellious—actually looking for trouble?

Good questions.

Life is short—and as humans we want to do things our own way…that may be rebellious—if our way is not God’s way. We may be so busy with life or we’re confused…groping around not knowing or caring where’re we going…just living one day at a time.  

God’s way is for us to be obedient to Him…respecting and trusting Him.  

 

Prayer ~ Holy Spirit, create in me a clean heart—take away my rebellious spirit and fill me with Your love, guiding my life in obedience.

 

Friday’s Feast at the Lord’s Table

Recently I was cleaning out some old books—and I came across a Choice and Tried Recipes compiled in 1908 by the Young Women’s Home Missionary Society of the Delaware Avenue Methodist Episcopal Church in Buffalo, New York. A friend had given me this copy back in 1983 just because she knew I loved to cook and bake—and she didn’t! Lots of unique renditions of basic and unusual dishes. Here’s one I haven’t tried…but sounds interesting—different from the Pigs in Blanket we usually think of as children’s food. This is just as it appears in the book.

 

Little Pigs in Blankets.

A thin slice of fat pork, pin the oyster in this, through the little hard part, with a wooden toothpick, and fry until the pork is crisp and brown. Serve on a thin piece of buttered toast.
