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

death... ugh...!

Death... ugh...
it struck again...
quickly... unexpected...
I hate it...!

But in the midst...
I hear Him...

Truly, truly, I say to you,
unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies,
it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit.
John 12:24 ESV

He died... Himself... 
that we might live...
be His fruit... 
bear more fruit...

And he is the head of the body, the church.
He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead,
that in everything he might be preeminent.
Colossians 1:18 ESV

And in the midst...
I praise and trust His sovereignty...

Who has spoken and it came to pass,
unless the Lord has commanded it?
Is it not from the mouth of the Most High 
that good and bad come?
Lamentations 3:37-38 ESV

I praise Him for His power...

What the enemy intends for evil...
He intends for good... and the saving of many lives...

Still... death... 
UGH...
I hate it...!

But so grateful... for what He does with it...
and that the one who died...
still lives...

He broke the power of death and illuminated
the way to life and immortality through the Good News.
2Timothy 1:10 NLT

Yet... those left behind...
desperately... need Your grace...

Father God... I pray for those who have suffered a great and unexpected loss... cover them with Your grace... carry them in Your arms... surround them with Your unfailing love...
Provide the way... for those traveling... smooth out any rough places... flood them with Your inexplicable peace... and comfort...
Thank You... Lord... thank You...
You are great... You are good...
