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

waiting... an exercise in patience...

Patience... the not hasty or impetuous kind... is what I exercised this week...

A particular situation... where I could have acted in any number of ways to get a desired result more quickly... required patience...

Even though my flesh... wanted to move ahead... my spirit felt the Spirit saying... Wait...

And so... I waited... and things lined up better than I imagined... and the outcome double... what I had desired...

An important exercise... and encouragement... for the other situations... on which I am waiting...

An important reminder... to listen... and wait... for His direction and way... to not follow my heart... but His...

Be patient, therefore, brothers, until the coming of the Lord.
See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth,
being patient about it, until it receives the early and late rains.
You also, be patient. Establish your hearts,
for the coming of the Lord is at hand.
James 5:7-8 ESV
