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
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

first things first

As I grew in my relationship with Christ, God laid out "priorities" for me, so to speak:

1. My relationship with Him.
2. My relationship with my husband and family.
3. Any ministry He led me into.

I often refer back to this list when making choices. It's interesting how quickly "ministry" tries to move up the list, vying for the #2 spot rather than being happy as #3.

I made a decision recently, that put my role as a small group leader firmly in the third place spot, but as I spent time with my husband on his birthday guilt tried to creep in. I fought back the feelings -- the lies -- trusting in the plan God had given me in the beginning.

Needless to say, my choice was affirmed when I received an email from my small group that blessed me. A blessing that probably wouldn't have happened if I had been there. I praised God for His work in my life and in the group.

God is always right. His plan is perfect.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding...
Proverbs 3:5
