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

worship... the foundation...

Worship... is the foundation... of a proper relationship with God...

Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth.
Worship the Lord with gladness;
come before him with joyful songs.
Know that the Lord is God.
It is he who made us, and we are his;
we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.

Enter his gates with thanksgiving
and his courts with praise;
give thanks to him and praise his name.
For the Lord is good and his love endures forever;
his faithfulness continues through all generations.
Psalm 100
(my emphasis)

Without a heart for worship... our relationship with Him... will be askew... perverted... broken...

He created us with the need to worship... but we too often fill the need with anything but Him... a host of little gods... beckon our hearts... but only One... is worthy of praise... reverence... honor... exaltation...

For great is the Lord and most worthy of praise;
he is to be feared above all gods.
Psalm 96:4

Because our whole life... translates to worship... we need to be wary... of what it is... we do worship...

What... or... who... do you worship...?
Who... or... what... do you fear...?
Who... or... what... has captured your heart...? your time...? your energy...?
What... or... who... determines... how... you... live...?

Perhaps... you should check your foundation... is it cracked...?
