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

living hope

I spent time planting this week... adding to the mess of the season... tulip bulbs and pansies...

Tulips first... 6 inches deep... into the dark...
The garden looks no different when I'm done... bare... nothing to show for my work... just dirt under my nails...

Pansies next... small plants... few blooms...
planted on top of the bulbs unseen in the ground...

Pansies offer immediate gratification... I plant them almost every year. But tulips... not so often... it takes faith to plant tulips... deep in the ground... waiting months for signs of life... 

Tulips require hope... living hope...

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ!
In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope
through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead...
1Peter 1:3

Unseen glory waiting to emerge from their hole in the ground.
Living Hope.

How are you living hope?
