Meditate.
Therefore be careful how you walk, 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. Ephesians 5:15-17
What does it mean to be “efficient”? It is to be well organized, resourceful and competent so that by seeking better ways a person can do their best and make the most of every situation. Wisdom and efficiency go hand in hand. A person can’t really be efficient without being wise—or seeking wisdom in the task that they are doing. Jesus certainly could be considered to be an efficient person. He didn’t waste time doing unnecessary things—and He encouraged others likewise. Remember how He spoke to Martha…but Martha was distracted with all her preparations; and she came up to Him and said, "Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to do all the serving alone? Then tell her to help me." But the Lord answered and said to her, "Martha, Martha, you are worried and bothered about so many things; but only one thing is necessary, for Mary has chosen the good part, which shall not be taken away from her." Luke 10:40-42. We need to take a lesson from that—to be wise about our choices and focus on the one thing—either a one dish meal that means we have more time for our guests or just time to focus on the Lord. Be wise and be efficient. Walk in a wise way…making the most of your time.
Prayer ~ Lord, open our eyes and hearts that we would see and understand what Your will is for us today. Help us to make the most of our time—to be wise, not foolish, in the things we say and do.
Verse of Salvation ~ You, however, continue in the things you have learned and become convinced of, knowing from whom you have learned them, and that from childhood you have known the sacred writings which are able to give you the wisdom that leads to salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. 2 Timothy 3:14-15 (Underlined for emphasis.)
Friday’s Feast at the King’s Table
Fresh peaches are in season. Yesterday was
a “peachy” day. I made some iced peach tea and added some fresh chopped
peaches. Totally delightful. Then I had a wonderful lunch outdoors at a nearby
wine center (Walter Clore Wine and Culinary Center) that included a fresh peach
caprese salad with basil and mozzarella cheese. 
A Peachy Day
Fresh Peach Caprese Salad
Heat one cup of balsamic vinegar to boil
over low heat for about 15 minutes, reducing it to a thick sauce. Mix with a
small amount of olive oil. Drizzle over fresh sliced peaches, chopped slices of
mozzarella cheese and chopped fresh basil. Enjoy as a simple one dish meal.
