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

i forgot...

For the first time... in I don't know how long... I forgot...

And I wonder... How...?
too much to do...?
forgot to ask Him... What's next...?
distracted by self...?
leaning on my own understanding...?
were there just no words...?

I don't know... it just happened...

So here I sit... resting in His grace...
waiting to see... if we'll continue...
or is this coming to an end...?

Maybe it has no significance at all...
except as a humble reminder...
of my own limits...

For from his fullness we have all received,
grace upon grace.
John 1:16 ESV

faith unbound... for now...

The recognition of limits...
when it comes to trusting Him...
has set me in a broader place of faith...

The prayers of yesterday... answered today...
more trust...
more faith...
more peace...

Nothing has given way... when it comes to the list of my to do's...
or to the hours in the day... they are still the same...
problems still arise... to slow the way...
yet the pushing down of the boundary of my trust in Him...
changes everything...

I won't say... my faith is limitless...
but for now... the boundary has increased...
freeing up faith... until the next stretching thin...

Reminded anew...
it's not about me...
it's Him...

I will give thanks to you, O Lord, among the peoples;
I will sing praises to you among the nations.
For your steadfast love is great to the heavens,
your faithfulness to the clouds.
Psalm 57:8 ESV

limits...

As He continues to stretch me thin...
blessing me with increased opportunities to trust Him...
to see Him in this thin place...
I've discovered... there are limits... to my faith in Him...

Having trouble trusting...
when I know it's too much for me...

Trouble trusting... waiting...
for changes to occur...

Crying out... Too much... it's just too much...
I see... the limits... of my faith...

It's time to stretch them out...
break them down...
praying for Him to set me down in a broad place... of faith...

I will run in the way of your commandments
when you enlarge my heart!
Psalm 119:32 ESV

Thank You... Lord... for revealing the limits of faith...
Enlarge my heart of faith... I long to run with joyful confidence...
in what You've called me to...
