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 Journey Readings: Week 113... and when He numbers days in unexpected ways...

The very full week... the one pressed tight...
the one I asked Him to number aright...
took an unexpected turn...

The day set for catching up...
turned into a day for being laid out...

Waking pre-dawn with an illness stealing more than a day... and still feeling puny... left me backing out of commitments... behind in my readings... and totally forgetting to write...

But in the pain... discomfort... dis-ease...
I didn't forget Him...
didn't forget His faithfulness...
didn't forget He had a plan... even in this...

I sang... in my heart...
Bless the Lord... O my soul...
O my soul... Worship His holy name...
Sing like never before... O my soul...
Worship His holy name...

Praising Him... in the unexpected...
Trusting Him.... in the numbering of days...
Resting in Him... in what's undone... and the catching up to do...

Praise the Lord, O my soul,
all my inmost being, praise his holy name.
Praise the Lord, O my soul,
and forget not all his benefits ---
who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases,
 who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you
with love and compassion,
who satisfies your desires with good things
so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.
Psalm 103:1-5

When He numbers your days...
in unexpected ways...
He is still worthy to be praised...

His Word says there's a heart of wisdom to be had...
when He numbers our days...
so trusting Him to reveal that too...

It certainly is a journey...
