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 trouble with leaning on your own understanding...

The trouble with leaning on your own understanding... is that is causes trouble...

In just thirty minutes... I made a mess...

A costly... time consuming... mess...

All because I leaned on my own understanding...

The evidence was before me... signs... to set my understanding right... but I trusted me... and what I understood...

And because I trusted me... my own understanding... I made a mess...

Yes... in just thirty minutes...

A mess that will take days... to rectify...

Hmmm... there's a lesson here... somewhere...

And an opportunity to exercise... practice... receiving grace... undeserved... unmerited... grace...

Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
and do not lean on your own understanding.
Proverbs 3:5 ESV
