The Milk Word

 

Text: 1 Peter 2:2-3 (KJV)

As newborn babies, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby: If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious.

Have you ever realized that the Word of God is the most delicious meal? The first meal as a child is breast milk and you must have realized that they crave for it, because that is the most delicious meal to them. The same goes for us a believer. God also starts us with milk, and the moment we taste it, we also crave for it. This milk is the Word of God. It is a pure spiritual and nourishing meal which we need for our growth and when it is tasted, it makes you guide and preserve what you have jealously. It helps to fight many battles of life either spiritually, physically, or emotional, etc.

A lot of people are facing problems today, because they missed this fundamental meal. They were trying to grow without starting from the basics. You do not expect a day old baby to start eating meat without them waiting until they have strong teethes. That is why we must go back to the scriptures, because the Word of God always nourishes our bodies. We need to feed on it, so as to distinguish good from evil continually. We grow into solid food as physical children, so it is with baby Christians. 1 Corinthians 3:2- I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able.I urge you to make the “Milk Word” a meal that will help you grow as God's own baby, so that you will not end up spiritually malnourished.

PRAYER POINT:                                                                                                   

1.      Oh Lord, may I experience the taste and sweetness of this word, so that I will always to go back to drink and eat for it, in Jesus name.

ACTION QUOTE:Have a fresh taste and hunger of the milk of the word of God as a baby.
