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

humbled... by His wonders...

There are times... all I do... feels foolish...
and it seems... time to quit...

Struggling for words...
feeling inept after interceding...
straining to hear Him...
wondering if it's all just me...

Then... He reminds... it's not me...

Encouragement comes...
thanks for a remembered prayer... offered years earlier...
thanks for words written... that spoke... in the midst of a storm...
a comment... naming me a blessing...?

Each humbles... to... tears...

And I wonder... how on earth... He finds uses for me...
and give thanks that He does...
and I resolve... to feel foolish no longer...
because really... I'm just disrespecting Him... and His call...

So today... Lord... help me remember...
Your wonders...
and put aside doubts...
help me stop looking at me...
and be glad I'm a fool...
Your fool...
Who beyond wonder of wonders...
finds uses for me...

I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart;
I will recount all of your wonderful deeds.
I will be glad and exult in you;
I will sing praise to your name, O Most High.
Psalm 9:1-2 ESV
