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

life in the dark

Thoughts from the Summit...
three persist...
plant more seeds...
every choice matters...
life in the dark...

She spoke it... the leader returned... to give testimony...
The fact that scientists found life in the deepest... darkest... parts of the ocean... where they thought NOTHING could exist... was a proving factor in her search... for a personal God...

Life in the dark... evidence of a loving God...

And we see it every day... if we look... people living in darkness... unimaginable darkness... surviving... living... in places... circumstances... seemingly incompatible with life...

A story shared... a girl... daughter of missionaries... rejected God... He took her parents away from her... boarding school required... she became... CC... "Cold and Calculating"... self-destructive... choices led to deep... darkness...

Yet in that darkness... when she cried out... He called... He rescued... He redeemed... called her to rescue others... from deep... darkness... places where life... should not exist...

Life in the dark... evidence of a loving God...

Another boy... growing up in darkness... rejected the faith of his grandmother... because of the darkness all around him... hopeless...

Yet in his grandmother's deepest darkness... dying a hard death... cancer eating away... he saw her faith shine... the hope of life... in the darkness of death... a faith worth giving a second chance... now he works... to bring the hope of life... to dark places...

Life in the dark... evidence of a loving God...

All things were created through Him,
and apart from Him not one thing was created
that has been created.
Life was in Him,
and that life was the light of men.
That light shines in the darkness,
yet the darkness did not overcome it.
John 1:3-5
HCSB

The power of God's love... for His rebellious creation... shines in the darkness... and will not be overcome...

Choose for yourself... this day... where to plant seeds... of life... hope... love... in deep... dark... places...

Then Jesus spoke... "I am the light of the world.
Anyone who follows Me
will never walk in darkness
but will have the light of life."
John 8:12
HCSB
