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

seeking... wide... open... spaces...

A desire... for... wide... open... spaces... increases...

To be clutter free... bears the highest appeal for me...

It struck me on vacation... at the beach... boating through a canal... lined with bay houses... my spouse and I sharing which ones appealed... it was then I noticed... for the most part... the ones with the least clutter... simple... not necessarily in style... but in stuff... drew my attention... and my heart...

Part of the rearranging... currently underway... at my house... in my home... is the call to simplify...

God's Word... identifies... wide... open... spaces... with... freedom...

And I'll stride freely through wide open spaces
as I look for your truth and your wisdom...
Psalm 119:42 Msg

...and I shall walk in a wide place,
for I have sought your precepts.
Psalm 119:42 ESV

I will walk about in freedom,
for I have sought out your precepts.
Psalm 119:42 

Three translations of the same verse... the literal Hebrew... meaning... broad... wide... spacious...

The more I grow in Christ... the more room I want to grow... less stuff... hindering... consuming... time... energy... I could otherwise divert to Him... and His kingdom...

To be less... have less... means... freedom...

I have taught you the way of wisdom;
I have led you in the paths of uprightness.
When you walk, your step will not be hampered,
and if you run, you will not stumble.
Proverbs 4:11-12 ESV
