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

was He glorified today...?

Listening to a teacher... teaching lessons on what he sees as God's school of discipleship... he comes to course 801...

The course he calls The Glory of God... a course that teaches...
At the end of every day, no matter what the loss, no matter what the hurt, no matter what the circumstance, no matter what my failure has been that day, I just ask one thing: Lord were You glorified today? All that matters to me is that You're glorified, because You're the Creator and I'm the creature, and I want to see You glorified and You exalted.
---Michael Wells, Living the Abiding Life
 So I ask... at the close of this day...

Lord... were You glorified today...?

I see where I obeyed easily in some places... others a struggle...

And I also see failure...

A course I need to continue... (or maybe even begin...)

I realize... to only be concerned about His glory... is to be wholly focused on Him...

My failure... and struggles... come from being more self-conscious... than Christ-conscious...

Lord... forgive me for my failures...
and lack of concern... for Your glory... over my comfort...
Thank You for Your patience... and Your teaching...
Grow me... in Your love... and grace... that I may glorify You...

So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do,
do all to the glory of God.
1 Corinthians 10:31 ESV
