God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

The kind of meditation encouraged in the Bible differs from other kinds of meditation in several ways. While some advocate a kind of meditation in which you do your best to empty your mind, Christian meditation involves filling your mind with God and truth. For some, meditation is an attempt to achieve complete mental passivity, but biblical meditation requires constructive mental activity. Worldly meditation employs visualization techniques intended to “create your own reality.” And while Christian history has always had a place for the sanctified use of our God-given imagination in meditation, imagination is our servant to help us meditate on things that are true (Philippians 4:8). Furthermore, instead of “creating our own reality” through visualization, we link meditation with prayer to God and responsible, Spirit-filled human action to effect changes.

Prepare to meet thy God, O Christian! Betake thyself to thy chamber on the Saturday night… The oven of thine heart thus baked, as it were, overnight, would be easily heated the next morning; the fire so well raked up when thou wentest to bed, would be the sooner kindled when thou should rise. If thou wouldst thus leave thy heart with God on the Saturday night, thou shouldst find it with Him in the Lord’s Day morning.

I am not a big fan of kale, but this soup was delicious.
Heat small non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add chorizo and cook,
stirring until browned, about 3 minutes. Drain and set aside.
In heavy stockpot, heat oil over med heat. Add onions and saute until
softened, about 5 minutes. Add chicken stock, potatoes & garlic and bring
to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender, 10 - 15
minutes.
With a slotted spoon, transfer the potatoes to a bowl; lightly mash with a
fork and return to the soup. Bring to a simmer and add kale, a handful at a
time. Simmer until kale is tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in reserved
sausage and season with salt & pepper to taste.
NB: I used about 8 oz of a low-fat fully cooked sausage. I did not brown it
as the more you cook this kind of sausage, the less flavor it has. I added
it to the soup after the kale was cooked and allowed it to heat through.
