How can I tell if my trust in the Lord is wholehearted? One way is this. Do I let the Bible overrule my own thinking? It says, “Do not lean on your own understanding” [Pr. 3:5]. So, do I agree with the Bible, or do I obey the Bible? If I merely agree with the Bible, then my positive response is not obedience but coincidence. The Bible just happens to line up with the prejudices I’ve soaked up from my background. But what do I do when the Bible contradicts what I want to be true — especially when, on top of that, it seems culturally remote and perplexing? If I’m reading the Bible for excuses for what I want anyway, my heart has already drifted from the Lord. But if I trust Him wholeheartedly, I will let the Bible challenge my most cherished thoughts and feelings.

Recipe by: Spoonbread & Strawberry Wine - ISBN 0-385-47270-6 Boil and
finely mash potatoes. Add melted lard, butter, sugar, and salt. Scald milk,
then cool to tepid. Dissolve yeast in milk. Add beaten egg and yolk and
stir into potato mixture. Then gradually add the flour. Knead 8 to 10 mins
and place in a large greased bowl. Cover with a tea towel, set in a warm
place, and allow to rise. When doubled in bulk, remove to a floured board
and work into a smooth dough, kneading lightly. Roll out dough about
1/2-inch thick and cut with a small biscuit cutter. Brush each biscuit with
additional melted butter and put in butter pans. Cover with a tea towel,
place in a warm spot, and let rise until doubled in bulk. Preheat oven to
425 F. Bake biscuits 12 to 15 mins or until golden. These are delicious;
serve hot with butter and jam. Yield: about 3 dozen biscuits.
