Got Milk?
As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word that ye may grow thereby.
—1 Peter 2:2
Here is the key to spiritual growth: the Word of God. When you received Jesus as Savior, there was a desire put in you for the Word of God. Much like milk in the natural helps a baby to grow, the Word of God will grow you up spiritually in the things of the Spirit. The Word is your spirit food, and what you eat will make a difference in your life. Tradition and religion will bind you and keep you a child, but the pure milk of the Word will grow you, or give you progress, in your salvation. Never lose your hunger for the Word! Sometimes you may have to force-feed yourself because of your feelings and emotions, but your desire will follow your attention! Sit under the Word every time you have a chance; get good CDs and online teach- ings that will help you grow. The Word is God speaking to you, so listen to it and act upon it. Soon you will not only have life, but life more abundantly; soon you will not only be saved, but you will come into the knowledge of the truth (1 Timothy 2:4). The more truth you receive, the freer you will become (John 8:31–32). The freer you become, the greater the potential you will have to free others. Desire the milk of the Word!
