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 flip side... of intercessory prayer...

Intercessory prayer...
intentional prayers on behalf of another...
have a flip side...

Even when we pray for others...
He uses our prayers...
to change our hearts...
open our eyes...
transform our lives...

I've experienced it myself...
but this evening I'm reminded by a friend who said...
Since we've been praying for him... I've been more aware...

It's just so true...
prayer...
it's not so much about what it does for others...
it's about what He does in us...

O you who hear prayer...
You answer us with awesome deeds of righteousness,
O God our Savior, the hope of all the ends of the earth
and of the farthest seas...
Psalm 65:2, 4

I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession
and thanksgiving be made for everyone...
This is good, and pleases God our Savior,
who wants all men to be saved and to come to
a knowledge of truth.
1 Timothy 2:1, 3-4
