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

Summary of methods of meditating on Scripture: 1. Emphasize different words in the text. 2. Rewrite the verse or phrase in your own words. 3. Formulate a principle from the text - What does it teach? 4. Think of an illustration of the text - What pictures or explains it? 5. Look for applications of the text - What should you do in response to it? 6. Ask how the text points to the Law or the Gospel? 7. Ask how the text points to something about Jesus. 8. Ask what question is answered or problem is solved bu the text. 9. Pray through the text. 10. Memorize the text. 11. Create an artistic expression of the text (song, poem sketch, etc.). 12. Set and discover a minimum number of insights from the text. 13. Find a link or common thread between all the chapters or paragraphs you've read. 14. Ask how the text speaks to your current issue or question.

Our Western worldview gets involved here once again. We have a strong tendency to want to analyze everything and place the parts in neat, mutually exclusive categories. So we ask questions like, How do I know whether it is the world, the flesh, or the devil? My response is that most situations will involve some of each element to some extent… (They) are treated as working together so closely that you cannot talk about one without talking about the other. The flesh is the earthly qualities about which enable us to respond to the temptation. The world is the milieu in which we live and which is under the control of 'the ruler of the kingdom of the air.' Satan and his demons know what fleshly parts of us are especially vulnerable, and they use the stimuli of the world around us to arouse sinful thought in us. The Devil would be a fool not to try to take advantage of the world and the flesh in his aim to destroy us.

CATEGORY CUISINE TAG YIELD
Finnish Beverages, Finnish 24 Servings

INGREDIENTS

10 qt Water;fresh pure
2 Lemons;fine
2 1/2 c Brown sugar
2 1/2 c White sugar
1/3 c Dark corn syrup;optional
1/4 ts Dry yeast
Raisins

INSTRUCTIONS

Shave the yellow peel from the lemons, cutting very thinly so that as
little of the white underlayer as possible is attached. Set the yellow
slices aside. Then peel the bitter white underlayer off and discard it.
Slice the lemons into very thin slices. Place them into a container and
cover them so they don't dry out.
Boil the water in a large kettle. Remove it from the heat and stir in the
yellow lemon peel, the sugars, and the syrup. When the sugars have
dissolved, cover the kettle and let the contents cool to room temperature
(25'C or 75'F). Then add the lemon slices and the yeast. Leave it to stand
overnight.
Place 4-5 raisins and a teaspoon of white sugar in the bottom of each of
several clean bottles (wine or soda pop). Pour the sima into the bottles,
straining it through a sieve to remove the lemon. Cap the bottle tightly.
The sima will be ready to drink when the raisins rise to the top of the
bottles, about 3-7 days depending on the temperature of the room where they
are stored. Serve it well chilled.
