Sugar Cookies

I am going to try to do something creative every weekday. So today I chose the home-ec route and baked some cookies. It was so interesting to see that when you add the adequate ingredients a recipe calls for you are almost guaranteed that the dish ( or whatever you're making) will turn out...unless you completely scorch it in the oven. As I reflected on my cookie baking today it was to no surprise that I came to this conclusion: when we do what God calls us to do the end result will be somewhat of a masterpiece (delicious sugar cookies). If you were wondering, the cookies did turn out well and I didn't even have cookie sheets- I used heavy duty foil. Anyway, back to the spiritual side of things. When we seem to ignore God's call or the Spirit's leading or when the recipe calls for flour and we put sugar our excuse and decision is not valid. We could reason that because both flour and sugar are white they can serve in each other's place but that would be false. Each ingredient has a specific purpose. If you are making bread you use yeast to make it rise. When we go through life and encounter struggles ( which is bound to happen if you are human) we have the recipe that will result in a masterpiece. Therefore, we are like sugar cookies. If we put in the right ingredients, the decisions God is calling us to make, in the end the masterpiece is inevitable. And we don't have to worry about getting scorched in the eternal oven.
