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

rolling... rolling... rolling... by faith...

Today... a desire... to manipulate... to get my way...

Today... a choice to sow...

Commit your way to the Lord;
trust in him, and he will act.
Psalm 37:5
ESV

A Word previously studied... a Word needing practice...

commit... in the Hebrew... literally means... "roll"... "roll away"...

The Hebrew... way... also meaning... "road"... "journey"... "manner"... "habit"...

Today... with my desire... I choose... a new way... a rolling... in faith... trusting... my Lord to act...

Rolling desire onto the Lord... feels a little like the guy of myth punished by the gods... eternally sentenced to rolling a rock up... only to have it come right back...

Committing to the Lord... hard... my flesh unable to let it go... causing the desire to roll right back onto my heart...

Today... I choose rolling... onto Him... sowing righteousness... breaking up hard ground... waiting for it to rain... reaping steadfast love... by faith...

Because... whatever... however... He acts... I hear the Truth speaking...


What do you need to roll?
