“In the same way that nursing infants cry for milk, you must intensely crave the pure spiritual milk of God’s Word. For this “milk” will cause you to grow into maturity, fully nourished and strong for life —” 1 Peter 2:2 TPT
Your appetite for the word of God must be insatiable, just like a baby’s appetite for milk. You should be hungrier for God’s word than you are for regular food.
The word of God should be a major part of our diet because he that is only alive in the flesh and dead in the spirit is as good as dead altogether.
“It is the spirit that giveth life the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.” John 6:63
The word of God is spirit and life. It is the real food that will keep you alive; feed on it daily!
If you make the word of God your earnest desire, you will be surprised at your spiritual growth. You will suddenly discover that you are beginning to think like Christ.
One thing about the word is that it can never be exhausted. That is one well that never runs dry! You can get a revelation from reading a passage today, then read it again tomorrow and the Holy Spirit teaches you something different from it.
Make the word of God your daily meal.
Father, please help me to daily take time to study and meditate on the word of God IJN.
Shalom!
