A Promise of Safety and Security

Honeysuckle flowers in the Land of Milk and Honey
Your threshing season will overlap with the grape harvest, and your grape harvest will overlap with the season of planting grain. You will eat your fill and live securely in your own land. Leviticus 26:5

Eat your fill and live securely in your own land. God didn’t say you’ll just have enough to eat…He said they would have their fill—as much as they wanted, providing the bountiful harvest that they would need. God didn’t say you’ll live in a rented house in a scary neighborhood—but they would have a safe, protected place to live that belonged to them. God is so good. He planned ahead, knowing just what His chosen people needed after all those years of slavery in Egypt and after wandering around homeless in the desert. No more flaky old manna, but they’d have grains and grapes in the land flowing with milk and honey. Another wonderful promise from God to His chosen people… You will eat your fill and live securely in your own land. Can you claim this promise from God? Eat your fill of God’s good fresh foods—not man-made processed foods. The nutrients from fresh foods are so much richer and satisfying than the stuff we find in cardboard boxes and cans on the grocery shelves. Live securely knowing that God is with you always, Hebrews 13:5. He loves you and is providing good things—just like He did for His chosen people.

Prayer ~ Father God, help me to make wise choices as I eat my fill of Your good foods. We have so many other foods tempting us…but I know that if I don’t buy it, I won’t eat it. It is amazing all the bounty that is right before me in the produce section of the grocery store…and You created it all. Wow! Thank you. Nourish my mind and my body that I would eat my fill and honor You, for my body is the Temple of the Holy Spirit, 1 Corinthians 6:19.

Friday’s Feast at the King’s Table

As usual every Friday is Feast Day—Feasting at the King’s Table. We can’t live on just spiritual food …nor can we live on bread alone. We’ve got to have some grain and grapes. That combination is reminiscent of good curry sauce over rice with raisins on top. But don’t end with just raisins. Here’s a fun list of curry condiments:

Raisins, chopped, maybe soaked and drained
Nuts - ground peanuts or cashews, pine or pistachio nuts, chopped
Chutney – try Major Grey’s Indian Chutney – or make your own with cranberries, gooseberries, limes, mangos, mint, peaches, pineapple or tomatoes
Pickles, chopped – (not dill) – sweet gherkins, or pickled carrots or mushrooms
Coconut, freshly chopped or grated
Eggs, hard boiled and chopped
Green pepper, finely chopped
Scallions or chives, thinly sliced and chopped
Parsley, chopped
Orange, lemon or grapefruit rind, chopped
Olives, green or ripe, chopped
Bombay duck – a salty dry fish
Roasted ham, cold, chopped
French-fried onion rings
Apples, chopped
Ginger, candied, chopped
Enjoy a variety of curry condiments and find your favorites.

Happy Birthday Blessing, Debbie J.
May God Continue to Bless You with an Abundance of Creativity!
