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

wait on Him... Micah 7:5-7...

Put no trust in a neighbor; have no confidence in a friend;
guard the doors of your mouth from her who lies in your arms;
for the son treats the father with contempt,
the daughter rises up against her mother,
the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law;
a man's enemies are the men of his own house.
But as for me, I will look to the Lord;
I will wait for the God of my salvation;
my God will hear me.
Micah 7:5-7 ESV

Who is worth waiting on... hoping in...?
Not your neighbor...
your friend...
your spouse...
your children...
your in-laws...
only God...

God alone delivers...
God alone is faithful...

Every person in your life will eventually let you down...
no person can save you...

Too often we put our trust in others...
trust which rightly belongs to God...

When He is our hope...
the One on which we wait...
we save ourselves a lot of grief...

For years... I found myself putting hope in my husband...
waiting on him... to keep me safe and secure...
looking to him... to make me content...

Finally God revealed this as idolatry...
He will never allow us to find security and peace in a person...
because He is the only One to fill that place in our lives...

Consider who you are waiting on... hoping in...
if it's a person in your life... let it go...
love them... bless them...
but don't put your hope in them...

Turn to God to fill the role of Savior... 
Confidant... 
Friend... 
in your life...
He's waiting for you... to wait on Him...
