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
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

More...

I ask the question in my waking hours... Who are You today... Lord...?

And He says... More...

An attribute I've never praised Him as before...

I wonder... How...? and... Is there Word...? to support this praise...?

Well... of course there is... because He said...
more... adjective... 1: greater... 2: additional, further...
---Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary (11th Ed.) 
He is more... greater... than all...

I know that the Lord is great,
that our Lord is greater than all gods.
Psalm 135:5

He is the source of more joy...

You have put more joy in my heart than they have
when their grain and wine abound.
Psalm 4:67 ESV

... more blessing... more wondrous deeds... 

Blessed is the man who makes the Lord his trust,
who does not turn to the proud, to those who go astray after a lie!
You have multiplied, O Lord my God,
your wondrous deeds and your thoughts toward us;
none can compare to you!
I will proclaim and tell of them, yet they are more than can be told.
Psalm 40:4-5 ESV

He gives more... than we...

If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children,
how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things
to those who ask him!
Matthew 7:11 ESV

He can do more than we... with little... 

For there were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, "Have them sit down in groups of about fifty each." And they did so... And taking the five loaves and two fish, he looked up to heaven and said a blessing over them. Then he broke the loaves and gave them to the disciples to set before the crowd. And they all ate and were satisfied. And what was left over was picked up, twelve baskets of broken pieces.
Luke 8:14-17 ESV

His Word... more refreshing... precious... sweet... 

The law of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul;
the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple;
the precepts of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart;
the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes;
the fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever;
the rules of the Lord are true, and righteous altogether.
More to be desired are they than gold, even much fine gold;
sweeter also than honey and drippings of the honeycomb.
Psalm 19:7-10 ESV

and... His grace abounds... more than our sin...

Now the law came in to increase the trespass,
but where sin increased, grace abounded all the more...
Romans 5:20 ESV

Yes... He is more...
and I hear Him calling me to more...

More trust...
in Him... 
who does more...
than we can ask...
or imagine...

Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more
than all we ask or imagine, according to his power
that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church
and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations,
for ever and ever! Amen.
Ephesians 3:20
