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

wrestling fear

Fear... I recognized it today... in the midst of indecision... me personifying an indecisive man... you know... the one unstable in all his ways...

Having recently recognized lack of faith at the heart of indecision... I remember hearing somewhere that fear is the opposite of faith... only fear of the Lord is compatible with faith...

Staring at an email... contemplating the sending... fearing... to the point of tears... am I pursuing His call... or pursuing my pride...

Fear of disobedience... fear of missing all He wants to do through me because of fear... fear of rejection... fear of embarrassment... fear of not being accepted... fear of being accepted... fear of recognition... fear of failure...

An indecisive woman... unstable... in all her ways...

After the outburst... a decision to trust... send an email by faith... knowing full well... He will open... or close... any door...

So now I wait... fighting off fear... resting in faith...

Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart
and wait for the Lord.
Psalm 27:14
