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

perfect peace...

His Word says it... so it must be true...

You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you,
because he trusts in you.
Isaiah 26:3 ESV

A mind stayed on Him...
trusting...
is blessed with perfect peace...

So I go to look deeper at perfect peace...
 in the original language... Hebrew... 
surprised by what I find...

...shalom shalom...

What we translate as perfect peace...
in Hebrew... shalom shalom...
peace peace... double peace...

Words used to describe shalom... in the Enhanced Strong's Lexicon...
completeness... soundness... welfare... peace...
safety... health... prosperity... quiet... tranquility...
contentment... peace...

A perfect peace trusting in Him... no matter what the present circumstance... trusting Him for welfare... safety... prosperity... contentment...

This verse has my attention today because I wonder at the peace in my heart lately... peace that doesn't feel normal for me...

A peace I wonder at...
and maybe... just maybe...
I'm trusting Him more...
staying my mind on Him more...
experiencing just a taste...
of peace peace...

shalom... shalom...

Praying for you today...
to trust Him more...
and experience the blessing of...
peace... peace...
