Feed on the Word as Newborns

June 9, 2011

1Peter 2:2-3 “Like newborn babies, crave the pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation, now that you have tasted that the Lord is good.”

            Dearest Lord, how good You are! Having brought up in a church, one would think I would have known a lot about Your Word.  But, You know, Lord, that I knew the “stories” of the Bible, but not the true meaning behind them and that the God of those times is the same God for the present.  I was so spiritually ignorant when You saved me.  Lord, when I finally trusted You for my salvation, I could not get enough of Your word either through reading the scriptures myself or by listening to Pastors.  Oh, how I craved and sought after that pure spiritual milk!  After all these years of growing up in my salvation, not much has changed.  Unfortunately, there have been periods of “snacking not “feasting”, and for those times, Lord, I am saddened and ashamed.  During those snacking times, You always allowed something to happen in my life to bring me back to the feasting table jarring me out of my mediocre walk with You.  Thank You!

            Now in these last days, maybe not THE last days but mine now that I am a senior citizen, You have given me that same thirst and hunger I had when I first came to know You.  O Lord, You are so good!  Feed me until I cannot take any more, if that is possible.
