Proverbs 17:1
Better is a
dry morsel, and quietness therewith,
than an
house full of sacrifices with strife.
This particular proverb is
contrasting two different meals. One is
a meal that consists of a dry piece of bread and the other has all kinds of
meats cooked wonderfully and laid out to be enjoyed. The other contrast is that the first meal is
one in which there is peace and a sense of tranquility. The other meal has frustration, complaining
and contention. God tells us that the
first one is better.
Ladies, if preparing a
‘wonderful’ meal makes you a major pain in the you-know-what, it is not worth
it. If what you are preparing is causing
you to strive and order everyone around, pride is most likely in your
heart. You need to downsize and reduce
your goal.
Better are grilled cheese
sandwiches with a happy mom than barbecued ribs and a frustrated cook. Better are quesadillas on paper towels with
joy than homemade enchiladas with an angry wife. Better is a bowl of cereal with peace than
marinated top sirloin with a resentful mama.
When planning your meals, still your heart and prepare it before you
prepare the meal.
