Do you like honey? Don't eat too much, or it
will make you sick! Proverbs 25:16
Too much of anything can make you sick. Likewise
a lack of or a delayed in receiving something can also make us sick.
Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but
desire fulfilled is a tree of life. Proverbs 13:12 NASB.
Desire fulfilled is sweet to the taste….Proverbs
13:19 NASB.

| Walking in a shadow...or the light? |
Wisdom is that tree of life to those who take hold of her. Proverbs 3:18. We need
to use the wisdom that God gives us and apply His word to our lives.
Be careful how you walk (or eat), not as unwise men, but as wise, making the
most of your time, because the days are evil. So then do not be foolish, but
understand what the will of the Lord is. And do not get drunk with wine, for
that is dissipation, but be filled with the Spirit. Ephesians 5:15-18 NASB.
Be careful how you walk. Walk or live by
the Spirit.
For those who are according to the flesh set
their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who are according to the
Spirit, the things of the Spirit. Romans 8:5 NASB.
During this Advent time it is a good time
to evaluate “how we are walking?” and living. Is it by God’s word? Do you know what God's purpose is for your life? Worship and fellowship with Him.
Prayer
~ Holy Spirit—guide us as we try to keep our eyes and heart on You…walking and
living in a way that is pleasing to You. As you say…”walk by the Spirit, and
you will not carry out the desires of the flesh.” Galatians 5:16 NASB.
Friday’s
Feast at the King’s Table
My favorite cookie of all time is my
Grandma Caroline’s Buttermilk. My cousin found a recipe that we think was
Grandma—and I’ve changed it a bit…because I think that Grandma used honey
instead of sugar as often as not in her cookies…because we used to take her
jars of honey from Dad’s bee hives. She used some of that honey in her cookies.
I’ve also updated it using coconut oil
and added 1 tsp cinnamon. I remember Grandma’s cookies as being flavorful.

Whip or melt coconut oil. Mix with
eggs, honey and vanilla. Mix the dry ingredients together. Stir dry ingredients
together with the egg mixture, alternating with the buttermilk and lemon juice.
