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

resting in His grace...

The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger
and abounding in steadfast love. He will not always chide,
nor will he keep his anger forever.
He does not deal with us according to our sins,
nor repay us according to our iniquities.
For as high as the heavens are above the earth,
so great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him;
as far as the east is from the west, so far does he remove
our transgressions from us. As a father shows compassion
to his children, so the Lord shows compassion to those who fear him.
For he knows our frame; he remembers that we are dust.
Psalm 103:8-14 ESV

I feel the unrest settle...
like the dust from a windstorm...
and where I land...
is in His grace...

An ordinary Christian... 
following an extraordinary God...
that's what I call myself...

The ordinary grumbles...
frets...
loses sleep...
feels restless...

But the Extraordinary...
He pours out grace...
mercy... compassion...
on the form that's made of dust...

I wonder at His extraordinary grace...
when I'm in a tumult...
and how He still loves... provides...
is faithful... when I'm in a tizzy...

What a gracious extraordinary God...
who lets me find rest...
in His grace...
