Hebrews
5:14
"But solid
food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to
distinguish good from evil." NIV
"But strong
meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use
have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil."
KJV
The natural order
of growth for human development is to steadily gain in height and weight while
at the same time learning different things. It takes food that is appropriate
for age and advancement of the child. The same hold true for the born again
children of God. Many Christians accept the Lord Jesus as their Saviour but they
fail to get into the Word of God and make it a part of their everyday lives and
they fail to faithfully commune with Him on a daily basis. They are not able to
spiritually chew and digest the deep things of God, only the milk and elementary
things of God. The answer is to take responsibility for working out our
salvation, for hiding the Word in our heart, and growing up in Him.
Heavenly Father,
we stand in need of Your grace and mercy as we work out our salvation in the way
You intended. Help us to receiveYour Word and by it grow into mature Christians.
Show us the way and give us the desire to grow and surrender so that we will be
ready for spiritual meat, the deep things of Your kingdom. In Jesus' name we
pray, Amen.
