1 Peter 2:2 (AMP)
Like newborn babies you should crave (thirst for, earnestly desire) the pure (unadulterated) spiritual milk, that by it you may be nurtured and grow unto [completed] salvation.
This morning I visited a daycare, and let me tell you, it takes a special person for that job. 😀
The room was filled with babies. Infants crying. Baby’s crawling and screaming for certain toys. Toddlers pushing and whining to get their way. Lord, let me tell you, my nerves was shot when I left there.
But after I left there the spirit of the Lord showed me something. Spiritual Babies. For the past several months once a week I’ve been meeting with 15 young men and women that attend Cleveland State University for lunch. All pretty much are spiritual babies. When we get together it’s just about the same way it was at that daycare. Everyone has a question, or wants attention, or want to share their experiences. Now, let me say right here, there’s nothing wrong with being a spiritual baby. All of us start out that way. When we’re first born into the kingdom of God, we’re much like physical newborns. We’re not very strong or well developed. We have slip ups while trying to learn how to operate in our new environment. That’s how we all have to begin. But God never meant for us to stay that way.
That’s why in 1 Peter 2:2 He says we should ” crave (thirst for, earnestly desire) the pure (unadulterated) spiritual milk, that by it you may be nurtured and grow….”
Beloved, God intends for us to be complete so we can become productive!!! He intends for us to feed on His Word, moving from the milk of the Word to the meat of the Word until we have totally matured into developed and established sons and daughters.
Beloved, it’s time to change your diet, it’s time to find your nourishment in His Word and enjoy the reward of completely maturing in Him!!!
Have a blessed Tuesday Everyone. 😀
