Hebrews
5:14
"But solid
food is for the mature, for those who have their powers of discernment trained
by constant practice to distinguish good from evil." ESV
By frequent
exposure to the Word of God and daily experiencing communion with Christ and
other Christians, we become experienced, mature Christians. It is then we are
able to comprehend the deep things of God and understand many of the mysteries
kept hidden from babes in Christ. We are strongly encouraged to keep ourselves
in tune constantly with the Word, the Spirit, and the fellowship of other
believers. If we are mature and experienced, we will not only be able to discern
the deep things of God's truth, but we will be able to teach and be examples to
those who are less experienced or new in Christ. This is not an option for us as
Christians to stay satisfied with the basics and never grow. It is our
reasonable sacrifice of worship to grow and become mature in
Christ.
Heavenly Father, O
how we need Your grace to give us hunger for Your Word and the deep things of
Your kingdom. Forgive us for being satisfied with the basics that keep us from
growing and being capable of casting down falsehoods and attacks of the enemy.
Help us to be sincere in growing as Christians and being able to help bring
others along in their walk. In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.
