Dessert before dinner

So I'd like to know who decided that we have to have dessert after dinner. This concept just doesn't make any sense to me. If it's been a good dinner then you are usually full by the time dinner is done and there's no space left for dessert.

Personally, I occasionally love to come home after a hard day and just tuck into a sweet treat and my favourite it a bowl of lovely sweet fruit. It is such a lovely comfort if you are feeling down.

Sometimes we need a little comfort food from God's word too, but at times you can be lost where to start. Some practical ideas:

Get a small A6 index book. As you read the word of God, you will find scriptures that will be of use in future times. Find the theme of the scripture, i.e. "Provision". Then write that scripture under the "P" section. You may not need that verse now, but times will come when you do and it will help to have your own personal index.

Another idea, is to have a concordance handy. You will be able to look up a specific word like "Hope" and find references of scriptures that have the word "hope" in them. Most bibles have a limited, but still useful concordance. Of course, if you are using a Bible program these will have search facilities in them.
