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

grateful for grace...

Began the morning... feeling like... a disappointment...

No one had voiced a complaint...
nothing specific came to mind...
just an overall feeling...
I disappoint...

Then I remembered... freedom...

In Him... I'm free from oppressive feelings...
free from others' expectations... leading to disappointment...

Taking hold of my freedom... I went about my day...

As the day progressed...
I did disappoint...
mainly myself...

One error after another...

A call to a customer...
Sorry... your order won't be ready tomorrow...

A text to my partner...
I messed up...
need to reorder... buy more...

By the end of the day...
I find myself... grateful for grace...
grace from a customer...
grace from my business partner...
and the freedom... to receive... grace... in Him...!

So we praise God for the glorious grace
he has poured out on us who belong to his dear Son.
Ephesians 1:6 NLT
