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

what can we do...?

She asked me...


What can we do...?

... in response to evil creeping in... ultimately revealing itself... in big ways...

Like Hitler in Germany...
rampant corruption in government...
divisive deception in the Church...

And I really didn't have an answer... because when evil gets that big... that embedded... it's overwhelming...

What can we do...?

It struck me... the next day... doing laundry... and pursuing other things He calls me to... things that don't necessarily seem productive to some... but little steps of obedience followed for years... in prayer... in writing...

Obeying even when it felt foolish... futile...

But then I see... His preparation... for me... and those in my sphere... happens through small steps of faith...

Just as the enemy creeps in... little by little... so does holiness...

What can we do... against the forces of evil...?

Exercise faith in holiness... separate ourselves from the world's ways... day by day... little by little... following Him in the small...

Each small interior battle of faith... He uses to prepare for the greater battle of darkness He knows is coming...

What can we do...?

Consider nothing small... nothing trivial... when it comes to His call... on your life...

Behold! God is mighty, and yet despises no one
nor regards anything as trivial;
He is mighty in power of understanding and heart.
Job 36:5 Amp

You too... regard nothing as trivial... He will prepare you to face what is to come...

And what if... we all followed with holy diligence... faithful Believers...?

Would evil have a chance... even to get a foothold...?
