Spiritual GrowthCraving Spiritual Milk
As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:
Like newborns instinctively crave milk, believers should hunger for God's Word.
Peter uses the image of a nursing infant to illustrate how we should desire Scripture—naturally, urgently, and consistently. Just as milk nourishes physical growth, God's Word nourishes spiritual growth. The Word is pure, free from contamination, providing exactly what we need for healthy development. Our spiritual appetite reveals our spiritual condition.
For Today
Read Scripture today with the eager anticipation of someone who truly hungers for spiritual nourishment.
Prayer
Lord, give me a deep hunger for Your Word. May I crave it like a newborn craves milk, knowing it brings growth and life. Feed me today. Amen.
