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

fight for joy

Joy filled my heart this morning... Thanksgiving Eve.
Soul penetrating joy.
Joyfully going about preparations.
Looking forward to my family being whole.

Then thoughts of impending doom enter my mind...

... what if... what if... what if...

Then actual complications arise...

... minor but irritating...

...joy stealers...

Such a struggle to keep joy...

Trusting God in the midst of it all.
Taking thoughts captive.
Remembering the blessing of trials.
Resting in the hope of glory.

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace
as you trust in him, so that you may overflow
with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Romans 15:13
