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

journeying... into new...

This morning... a reminder regarding this year's word... journey...
"Hitherto hath the Lord helped us." ---1 Samuel 7:12
The word "hitherto" seems like a hand pointing in the direction of the past. ...
But the word also points forward. For when a man gets up to a certain mark and writes "hitherto," he is not yet at the end, there is still a distance to be traversed. More trials, more joys; more temptations, more triumphs; more prayers, more answers; more toils, more strength; more fights, more victories...
"He who hath helped thee hitherto, Will help thee all thy journey through."
---Charles Spurgeon, Morning and Evening
 Even though this word for the year is replaced... the journey continues...

And I see the string of each word-for-a-year... 
2013... obedience... 

And this is love:
that we walk in obedience to his commands.
2 John 6

2014... journey... 

And a highway will be there;
it will be called the Way of Holiness.
The unclean will not journey on it;
it will be for those who walk in that Way;
wicked fools will not go about on it.
Isaiah 35:8

2015... new... 

And he who was seated on the throne said,
"Behold, I am making all things new."
Also he said, "Write this down,
for these words are trustworthy and true."
Revelation 21:5 ESV

They connect... speak a single message...

Obedience to Him
is a journey with Him
in which He makes all things new. 

Hitherto... and beyond... He is with us...
calling us to His will...
traveling with us along the way...
transforming us into His image...

"...Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous.
Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed,
for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go."
Joshua 1:9 ESV

Looking forward... to journeying... into new...
