C.H. Spurgeon's Morning Devotional

"Let Him kiss me with the kisses of His mouth."-Song of Solomon 1:2
    
    For several days we have been dwelling upon the Saviour's passion, and for some little time to come we shall linger there. In beginning a new month, let us seek the same desires after our Lord as those which glowed in the heart of the elect spouse. See how she leaps at once to Him; there are no prefatory words; she does not even mention His name; she is in the heart of her theme at once, for she speaks of Him who was the only Him in the world to her. How bold is her love! it was much condescension which permitted the weeping penitent to anoint His feet with spikenard-it was rich love which allowed the gentle Mary to sit at His feet and learn of Him-but here, love, strong, fervent love, aspires to higher tokens of regard, and closer signs of fellowship. Esther trembled in the presence of Ahasuerus, but the spouse in joyful liberty of perfect love knows no fear. If we have received the same free spirit, we also may ask the like. By kisses we suppose to be intended those varied manifestations of affection by which the believer is made to enjoy the love of Jesus. The kiss of reconciliation we enjoyed at our conversion, and it was sweet as honey dropping from the comb. The kiss of acceptance is still warm on our brow, as we know that He hath accepted our persons and our works through rich grace. The kiss of daily, present communion, is that which we pant after to be repeated day after day, till it is changed into the kiss of reception, which removes the soul from earth, and the kiss of consummation which fills it with the joy of heaven. Faith is our walk, but fellowship sensibly felt is our rest. Faith is the road, but communion with Jesus is the well from which the pilgrim drinks. O lover of our souls, be not strange to us; let the lips of Thy blessing meet the lips of our asking; let the lips of Thy fulness touch the lips of our need, and straightway the kiss will be effected.

10 Tips for a Healthy Summer Vacation

Whether your vacation plans involve domestic or overseas travel, general health and safety measures can help you and your family prevent illness and injury. 

1. Watch What You Eat. The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics offers these healthy eating suggestions while you are on vacation:

  • Sample small amounts of high–calorie foods. You do not have to avoid these foods entirely; just reduce the amount that you eat to a few bites.
  • Share large portions. Many restaurants serve very large portions, so do not hesitate to split orders.
  • Space meals throughout the day. It can be easy to "graze" while on vacation. Try to set meal times and stick to them.

15 Strategies for the Savvy Traveler

 #1 While snacking on wholesome foods will help keep your blood sugar levels from spiking and dropping, avoid eating full meals in the car. Take a break to relax and enjoy your food – it’s better for your digestion and will also enable you to pay attention to satiety signals and realize when you’re full.

#2 Don’t skip meals, and don’t go more than four or five hours without eating. This will keep your energy level up and enable you to resist the temptation to overeat at your next meal.
