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
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 4: thoughts... part 2

Still pressing forward on memory of James... its contents... continues to press me...

 Read James 4
You do not have because you do not ask.
You ask and don't receive because you ask with wrong motives,
so that you may spend it on your evil desires.
James 4:2-3
HCSB

Verses with a sticking point... you ask and don't receive because you ask with wrong motives... can there be a wrong motive for everything...

What about salvation for a loved one...? Can that have an evil desire attached...? Is it possible to ask and ask... and not receive... because you ask wrong... for someone to know Jesus...?

A thought that sticks... a heart that wants to ask right... a soul that asks for searching... and cleansing...

Search me, O God, and know my heart;
test me and know my anxious thoughts.
See if there is any offensive way in me,
and lead me in the way everlasting.
Psalm 139:23-24
