Spiritual Milk
Therefore,
rid yourselves of all malice and all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and slander of
every kind. Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you
may grow up in your salvation, now that you have tasted that the Lord is good.
As you come to him, the living Stone—rejected by humans but
chosen by God and precious to him— you
also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy
priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus
Christ.
1 Peter 2:1-5
We are commanded to
earnestly long for the nourishment we get from the Word of God. But unlike
little birds and babies, we need to be reminded of our need for spiritual
nourishment. Even though we may have fed on the Word in the past, we need to
realize that our need is ongoing and that without more nourishment we will grow
spiritually weal. God is eager to feed His dear children
Neglecting the Word will famish your
soul; meditating on the Word will feed it.
