This Week’s Memory Verse…
But
when the Father sends the Advocate as my representative—that is, the Holy
Spirit—he will teach you everything and will remind you of everything I have
told you. John 14:26
Everything I have told you.
Jesus told
His disciples and followers just what His Father told Him to say. Over and over
He tells us this.
Anyone who doesn't love me will not obey me. And
remember, my words are not my own. What I am telling you is from the
Father who sent me. John 14:24
I no longer call you slaves, because a master
doesn't confide in his slaves. Now you are my friends, since I have told you
everything the Father told me. John 15:15
Like Jesus,
Solomon gave us some good advice about following your father’s teachings. This
would certainly hold true about God the Father’s wisdom applied to our lives.
My children, listen when your father corrects you.
Pay attention and learn good judgment, for I am giving you good guidance. Don't
turn away from my instructions. For I, too, was once my father's son, tenderly
loved as my mother's only child. My father taught me, "Take my words to
heart. Follow my commands, and you will live. Get wisdom; develop good
judgment. Don't forget my words or turn away from them. Don't turn your back on
wisdom, for she will protect you. Love her, and she will guard you. Getting
wisdom is the wisest thing you can do! And whatever else you do, develop good
judgment. Proverbs
4:1-7
Listen to
Jesus and follow everything He has told us. Let the Holy Spirit remind us of
Jesus very words…and how we can apply them to our lives.
Prayer
~ God, thank you for the wisdom that we hear in Jesus teachings. Your wisdom.
Help us apply that to our lives—that our thoughts, words, and actions would be
pleasing to You…and bring You glory.
Daily
Bible Reading: Proverbs 13-15
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 meat, veggies and fruit.
And that meat shouldn’t be a burnt
offering. Maybe God likes burnt offerings…but burnt food is not healthy and not
enjoyed by most people…including my husband. Watch the temperature. Heating
cookware to too high of a heat is not good for the pans. It can release
dangerous chemicals from non-stick surfaces and can even warp cast iron pans.
Oil in frying pans can also catch fire quickly. Safety first. I blame my “burnt
offerings” on my range top. It has a couple of burners that are superhot…even
on low. What is your excuse?
Here’s my favorite meat of the summer…or
anytime of the year. This is a smoky delight.
Smoked
Salmon
One
whole salmon
Brine
2 Tbsp black peppercorns
2 Tbsp white peppercorns
2 Tbsp yellow mustard seeds
2 Tbsp coriander seeds
1 cup water + 3 cups ice cold water
¼ cup kosher salt
Heat
spice seeds in a saucepan on medium heat for a couple of minutes until they are
fragrant.
Add one
cup of water and the salt. Bring the mixture to a boil and stir until the salt
is dissolved.
Remove
from the heat. Add the mixture to 3 cups
of ice cold water.
Seafood
Rub
1 Tbsp coriander seeds
1 Tbsp yellow mustard seeds
2 tsp black peppercorns
2 tsp white peppercorns
4 Tbsp paprika
1 tsp each dried thyme and oregano
or 2 tsp dried Italian seasoning
1 tsp red pepper flakes
1 tsp sugar
2 tsp kosher salt
Heat
the seeds and peppercorns for a couple of minutes on medium heat, until
fragrant. Cool and then grind in a spice grinder. Alternatively, you can use
half the amount of ground spices for the seeds and peppercorns. Combine the
freshly ground spices with the other seasons, sugar and salt. Mix thoroughly
and store in an airtight container for up to a year.
To
Smoke the Salmon
In a
non-reactive (non-metal) container or large plastic bag, cover a whole salmon
with the brine and marinade the fish for 1-2 hours, refrigerated. Remove from
the refrigerator, dry off the fish, apply a dry rub to the inside and outside
of the fish, and allow it to come to room temperature while your smoker is
heating.
Smoke
the fish until the internal temperature is 160 degrees Fahrenheit. If the
temperature does not come up to 160 degrees, you may put it in the oven at 300
degrees for 30-45 minutes to bring up the temperature.
Serve
immediately or allow to chill overnight and enjoy cold with a tossed salad and
fresh rolls.
