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

God reminds... instantly...

Frustrations with a loved one... one on whom I'm to pour out grace... but after weeks... months... there appears no visible change...

Driving out of the driveway... I yell a prayer to God...

I just want to beat him...
Will You wake him up...

The car radio on... as usual... and as soon as my tirade is complete... I hear...

Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!
Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near.
Do not be anxious about anything,
but in everything, by prayer and petition,
with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.
And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding,
will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

An instant reminder... for a frustrated... angry... impatient... mom... a Word from Him... Philippians 4:4-7...

God... He knows what you need to hear... and will not waste any time... an instant reminder... the welling tears... the hard frown... replaced with a smile...

Yes... the Lord is near...

The Lord is near to the brokenhearted
and saves the crushed in spirit.
Psalm 34:18 ESV
