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
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

rest in Him... Genesis 8:1-4...

But God remembered Noah and all the beasts and all the livestock
that were with him in the ark. And God made a wind blow over the earth,
and the waters subsided. The fountains of the deep and the windows
of the heavens were closed, the rain from the heavens was restrained,
and the waters receded from the earth continually. At the end of 150 days
the waters had abated, and in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day
of the month, the ark came to rest on the mountains of Ararat.
Genesis 8:1-4 ESV

Noah... he worked for years... building the ark...
worked tirelessly... at what God called Him to do...
until it was complete...

The animals and Noah's family entered the ark...
his part complete... and now... he rested...

God shut the doors...
the water burst forth from the ground...
and poured down from the skies...

Forty days... forty nights...

All the while... Noah rested...
in the work he had done for God...

All the while... Noah rested...
caring for the animals God entrusted to Him...

All the while... Noah rested...
trusting God where he had no control...

Noah rested...
he rested in the work he did...
he rested in the call God put on his life...
he rested in God... for the outcome...

When God calls us to work...
we work until its complete...
then we rest in the work...
rest in what God has in store...
rest in Him... for the outcome...
