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

the way of freedom... war or wilderness...

Freedom... in a broken world... does not come easy...

The reading through of Exodus... brings insights on the way of freedom...

When Pharaoh let the people go, God led them not by way of the land of the Philistines, although that was nearer; for God said, Lest the people change their purpose when they see war and return to Egypt. But God led the people around by way of the wilderness toward the Red Sea.
Exodus 13:17-18 Amp

God alone sets us free... He leads us out of captivity... but the way out... often comes down to two choices... war... or... wilderness...

He knows our hearts... He knows what we can handle... emotionally and spiritually...

He leads us in the way... we are most likely to stay set on our purpose... freedom...

We must remember to follow Him... trust His leading... whether we face a battle... or... a wilderness walk...

Sometimes the way is circuitous... seemingly longer than it needs to be... but perhaps... it's the best way... for us...

As you move toward freedom... expect resistance... either through war... or wilderness... but remember... He will provide... all you need...

The Lord went before them by day in a pillar of cloud to lead them along the way and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light, that they might travel by day and by night.
Exodus 13:21 Amp

Lord... help me to trust the way You choose for me...
as You lead me toward ever greater freedom...
