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

have i missed a word...?

Wondering about my hearing a bit lately...
not physical... but spiritual...

His words don't seem as loud...
as they have in the past...

It's not like He's silent...
I discern His presence...
in unexpected joy...
the prompt to pray...
the desire to give...

But the words... seem to be missing...
it's more like impressions...
it's more like it's part of me... (?)

So I wonder...
have I missed a word... from Him...?
is it more me... than Him...?
or is He becoming more... a part of me...?

Is this a sign of spiritual growth...?
when the current desires... before...
would have been an uncomfortable call...?
words pressed clear...?

I don't know...

I pray for less of me...
and more of Him...
is this what it feels like...?

This evening's devotional... Charles Spurgeon says of the Holy Ghost...
As the only truly purifying water He cleanses us from the power of sin and sanctifies us unto holiness, working in us to will and to do of the Lord's good pleasures.
---Morning and Evening
My will... becoming His...?
in a way that does not feel discernible...?

I don't know... maybe...

"... Holy Father, keep them in your name, which you have given me,
that they may be one, even as we are one. ..." ---Jesus
John 17:11 ESV
