Orange-scalloped Sweet Potato

There is nothing - no circumstance, no trouble, no testing - that can ever touch me until, first of all, it has gone past God and past Christ right through to me. If it has come that far, it has come with a great purpose, which I may not understand at the moment. But as I refuse to become panicky, as I lift up my eyes to Him and accept it as coming from the throne of God for some great purpose of blessing to my own heart, no sorrow will ever disturb me, no trial will ever disarm me, no circumstance will cause my to fret - for I shall rest in the joy of what my Lord is! That is the rest of victory!

INSTRUCTIONS

Select medium-sized sweet potatoes & cook in boiling salted water
until almost tender. Peel & slice. Put a layer of potatoes in a
greased baking dish, sprinkle generously with sugar & dot with bits  of
butter. Add another layer of potatoes & repeat until baking dish  is
filled. Squeeze the juice & pulp from several oranges. Discard  seeds.
Pour over the potatoes. There should be enough orange juice to  come
almost to the top. Sprinkle buttered bread crumbs over top &  bake in a
moderate oven (350) until potatoes have absorbed most of  the orange
juice & the top is lightly browned. Serve with roast pork  or baked
ham.  MRS HARRY L. (THELMA) BOOZ  From the <The Bliss of Cooking

Praying over the Word...has the effect of shaping our minds and hearts, so that we desire what the Word encourages us to desire, and not just what we desire by nature. That is why the prayers of Bible-saturated people sound so differently. Most people, before their prayers are soaked in Scripture, simply bring their natural desires to God, In other words, they pray the way an unbeliever would pray who is convinced that God might give him what he wants: health, a better job, safe journeys, a prosperous portfolio, successful children, plenty of food, a happy marriage, a car that works, a comfortable retirement, etc. None of these is evil. They're just natural. You don't have to be born again to want any of these. Desiring them - even from God - is no evidence of saving faith. So if these are all you pray for, there is a deep problem. Your desires have not yet been changed to put the glory of Christ at the center.
