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

long days... short nights... in Love's presence...

Today it was noted... that we had not yet been here... on mission... two full days... not until 4:00 pm... feeling like we have been here... two full weeks...

Days long... filled with activity... cleaning... cooking... shopping... worship... feeling our way through the new... in bed after midnight... up by six...

My sister in service... said she woke this morning... with a joy hangover...

Up late... talking of God... His Word... His love... His broken heart... over our rebellion... and the cure He paid for... with His life...

The worship... singing of His love poured out...
through hands... and brow...
Wrestling with the cross... and grace... love... and sacrifice...
Transformation... through His wounds that heal... He... broken... because of our sin...

...how I have been broken over their whoring heart
that has departed from me and over their eyes 
that go whoring after their idols. ...
Ezekiel 6:9
ESV

He... with His freedom... through love... allowed Himself to be broken for our sin... broken on a cross...

Here... challenged to break habits of self-indulgence... and complaining... challenged to serve with joy... not in my strength but His... pushing past the need for sleep... holding back words that seek to wound... learning... to remember... that Love is here... wrestling... for us... and with us...


His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us to his own glory and excellence...
2Peter 1:3
ESV

Lord Jesus... help me to know You better... to know You are here...
