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

10 words till Christmas... light...

Christmas lights line houses and streets...
lighting up the darkness...


Candlelight atop tables... altars...
shine on faces... make them bright...


Light... a Christmas word...

And an angel of the Lord appeared to [the shepherds],
and the glory of the Lord shone around them...
Luke 2:9 ESV

God's glory... it shines like the purest light...
His light filled the shepherd's field...
a glory announcing the birth of Light... in a dark world...

In him was life, and the life was the light of men.
John 1:4 ESV

The wise men... magi... saw the star...
a light shining in the night skies...

...wise men from the east came to Jerusalem, saying,
"Where is he who has been born king of the Jews?
For we saw his star when it rose and have come to worship him."
Matthew 2:1-2 ESV

Light... makes the way for you to see where you are going...
the light of the star guided the wise men to Jesus... the King...

Light... it's what Jesus came to bring...
light to a dark world... trapped in sin...
light to find the way out... the way back to Him...
light to bring knowledge... of the glory of God...

The true light, which enlightens everyone, was coming into the world.
He was in the world, and the world was made through him,
yet the world did not know him.
John 1:9-10 ESV

Light came into the world...
but not all have eyes to see...
or hearts to receive...

But for those who do...
we become His lights...
to show others the Way...

Where do you need light in your life today...?
or to whom do you need to be light...?

Light... an Advent word... a word of Christmas...

...the people dwelling in darkness have seen a great light,
and for those dwelling in the region and shadow of death,
on them a light has dawned."
Matthew 4:16 ESV
