Peter 2:2
“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.”
One characteristic that children have in common is that they want to grow up. When we are born again, we become like spiritual babes, if we are healthy, we will yearn to grow, wanting to model our lives after giants of faith. Just as babies need milk, we too need the word of God to help us grow and learn. Obeying the sense in our spirit, we get a sense from Him concerning many matters in our lives daily. Maybe, for example, we long to purchase a certain item that we have been longing for, but now as we think on it, we become uneasy as to whether we should buy it now. This is an opportunity to obey the Lord. We need to stop and pray on it, is God telling us not to purchase this item and for what reason? Sometimes, just as a babe learns to walk, we stumble but if we do we need to get right back up on our feet and continue to follow what God wants for our lives. Is God trying to teach you something today?
Dear God thank you for your wisdom and love for me. Help me to remember to seek you first then seek other things. Give me the strength to resist what is not good for me. Help me to help others learn how to walk in your way. I pray this through Jesus’ name, Amen.
