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

active duty...

The current treadmill read... reminds Believers... they must take an active role... in their defense against the darkness...
The first thing you should understand about God's protection is that our role is not passive.
--- Neil Anderson, The Bondage Breaker
The author continues by emphasizing the verbs in Ephesians 6:10-13...
be strong...
put on...
be able...
stand firm...
take up...
resist...

 It made me think... about the armor... which many days... I prayerfully put on...

But... perhaps each piece... requires... active maintenance...

The belt of truth...
breastplate of righteousness...
shoes of gospel peace...
shield of faith...
helmet of salvation...
sword of the Spirit...

What does it look like to maintain... strengthen... these vital pieces of armor the Lord has prepared for us...?

How do we... wear them... use them... in a way... that increases their effectiveness in our lives...

Something to explore over the next few days...

Standing firm... ready for... active duty...

Praise be to the Lord my Rock,
who trains my hands for war...
Psalm 144:1
