Develope a Palate

Develope a Palate
Daily intake of the Word nourishes the Spirit. Jeremiah's Menu is an exercise in recognizing God's Word made flesh in and around me. Eating the Word in a way that supplies the spiritual nutrients needed to grow. The Menu is offered with the hope of inspiring you to taste and see that the Lord is good. Bon Appetite!

Quote Du Jour

Quote du Jour
Christians may differ on a variety of points, but they have all one spiritual appetite; and if we cannot all feel alike, we can all feed alike on the bread of life sent down from heaven. At the table of fellowship with Jesus we are one bread and one cup. As the loving cup goes round we pledge one another heartily therein. Get nearer to Jesus, and you will find yourself linked more and more in spirit to all who are like yourself, supported by the same heavenly manna. ---Charles Spurgeon, Morning and Evening

blind

Though outwardly we are wasting away,
yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day.
For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us
an eternal glory that far outweighs them all.
So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen.
2Corinthians 4:16-18a

Walking a life of faith is choosing to focus on the "unseen" -- walking blind -- sightless.

It gives new meaning to ...

I will lead the blind by ways they have not known,
along unfamiliar paths I will guide them;
I will turn their darkness into light before them
and make the rough places smooth.
These are the things I will do; I will not forsake them.
Isaiah 42:16 (emphasis added)

and ...

Who among you fears the Lord
and obeys the word of his servant?
Let him who walks in the dark, who has no light,
trust in the name of the Lord and rely on his God.
Isaiah 50:10 (emphasis added)

To embrace reality we choose to blind ourselves to what we can see.

For what is seen is temporary but what is unseen is eternal.
2Corinthians 4:18b

Are you willing to take a walk in the dark?

We live by faith, and not by sight.
2Corinthians 5:7
