JACQUI’S MEDITATION
Directions are there for a reason
I saw a lovely looking recipe for muesli bars and decided to cook some.
Instead of honey I used maple syrup and substituted puffed amaranth for rice
bubbles. In went a few extra almonds and shaved coconut flakes. It looked
delicious and a small taste confirmed that in fact it was. I followed directions
and baked and cooled it and then tried to slice it into bars. No joy there! It
instantly crumbled and there was no way it could be called a muesli bar slice.
What went wrong?
I think I did too much of my own thing substituting this for that and hoping for the best – a hope not realised. Not following God’s plan for us can have the same effect. If things in your life are not going well, maybe the problem is not following the masterplan. Ask God to help you understand his plan for you.
Lord, there is a plan for each of us, please help us to discern it, and then more importantly, to follow it. Amen.
BTW I have rebadged my muesli bars as good old muesli and am enjoying it for breakfast.
