| “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.” |
| —1 Peter 2:2-3 |
What do you like to eat? Like me—even though I eat at McDonlad’s seven days a week—at heart are you a filet mignon person? Do you prefer chicken? Do you long for liver and onions? Are you a vegetarian? From a physical standpoint, as long as you eat a healthy and balanced diet, it doesn’t really matter very much what you eat.
In the spiritual realm, what we take in as our “spiritual food” matters a great deal. Do we feast on the things of the world all week and then hope a Sunday spiritual brunch from God’s written Word will bring about a healthy spiritual life? Notice these words of advice from the Apostle Peter found in 1 Peter 2:2-3:
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.
The spiritual milk of God’s precious written Word will keep us nourished properly and allow us the strength to serve God and to serve those He brings across the pathway of our lives. Let’s determine this day to dine at His table and desire the pure spiritual milk. We will be so much more spiritually healthy if we do this.
