Word: Milk
Verse: 1 Peter 2:2 "Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation. AND Hebrews 5:12 "In fact, though by this time you ought to be teachers you need someone to teach you the elementary truths of God's word all over again. You need milk, not solid food!
Application: While one verse seems to encourage drinking spiritual milk and the other somewhat admonishes it, in actuality, both verses point to spiritual growth. When we first believe we should have a steady diet of God's Word, as we grow we are to put the Word into practice (the meat), but we are to continue in craving and drinking in the Word of God.
Personal: How's my diet and growth going? Do I crave daily milk (the Word)? Am I eating enough meat (putting it into practice)?
