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

errors in judgment

God is busy dismantling my propensity to judge others... assess character based on others' words... or anecdotal evidence...

Twice this month... my estimation of character found to be unfounded...

A clear teaching... given in the gentlest of manner... gracious beyond belief...

By His grace... He set times and appointments to reveal the truth of my error... my sin... let's call it what it is...

No great conviction... no crushing condemnation... just revelation of truth through conversation with those misjudged...

But oh how I deserve to be judged...
so wrong... so arrogant... so sinful...

Lord, Jesus, thank You for Your gentle teaching... Your correction with grace so undeserved... Thank You for revealing... the one's I thought lost... odd... incompetent... as spiritual family... a sister... a brother... Continue to remind me of this truth... Only You know the heart... I am incapable of judging correctly... I choose to be open to Your truth... to Your revelation at the proper time... Teach me to judge with grace...

"Do not judge, or you too will be judge.
For in the same way you judge others,
you will be judged, and with the measure you use,
it will be measured to you. ..."
Matthew 7:1-2
