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

James 1: thoughts... part 3

Read James 1

The firstfruits of my sunflower crop...





The only seeds to mature in an attempt to plant a cutting garden... many seeds planted... only a few grew to produce...

In James... a verse to memorize has stuck... gives insight...

By His own choice, He gave us a new birth
by the message of truth so that
we would be the firstfruits of His creatures.
James 1:18
HCSB
(emphasis mine)

How many thousands of years did He wait... for the firstfruits from His planting in the Garden...

Amazing to think... we... Believers in the Son... are firstfruits... His crop...

So many seeds planted... so many failed... but now is the time of harvest...

firstfruits... from a Garden planting... God the Gardener... the One who makes things grow... the One who knows the patience of waiting... for the firstfruits from the Son...

Do you bear the glory of firstfruits...?
Do you see the joy you bring the Father...?

Be glorious... for you are the result of a long awaited crop...
