A Recipe To Follow

'Trust' was the theme of our worship service today led by Major Win Barker. In her Bible message, Win shared a story about a personal cooking experience. Not having all the proper ingredients, she ad libbed only to find out that the end product wasn't as satisfying as she would have liked. When speaking with a friend about it, Win was advised of the following.
"Well, you can't expect a good result if you don't follow the recipe!"

How fitting is that spiritually? Through the Bible, God has given us the recipe to live a fulfilling and rewarding life in the power of His Holy Spirit, if we would only trust in Jesus with our all.
My mind went to these well-loved words from Proverbs 3:5-6 ~ "Trust in the Lord with all your heart. Lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct your paths."
...and it's a great recipe to follow!
