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

rest... in His shadow...

How precious is your steadfast love, O God!
The children of mankind take refuge in the shadow of your wings.
They feast on the abundance of your house,
and you give them drink from the river of your delights.
For with you is the fountain of life;
in your light do we see light.
Psalm 36:7 ESV

The idiom... in the shadow of somebody...
generally has a negative connotation... meaning...
receiving little attention... because someone else is better known...
more skillful...

Only in His shadow...
we find rest...

Rest from trying to gain attention for ourselves...
rest from striving in our own strength...
rest from criticism... critique...

The shadow of His wings falls over those who know His precious love...
there they find abundance... delights... life... and light...

His shadow is not overpowering...
it is empowering...

His shadow covers...
with grace...
strength...
mercy...
love...

When all we do...
is pursue His call...
stay in His shadow...
there is rest to be had...
knowing all belongs to Him...
whether praise...
or complaint...

Only in the shadow of His wings... His borders...
is there rest...

Rest... in His shadow...
