As Newborn Babes, Desire
The Pure Milk Of The Word,
That You May Grow Thereby.
1 Peter 2:2
The Word Of God Has Been Given a
To Us As The Most Basic
Requirement Of Our Spiritual Growth.
Regular Reading And Consistent Study
Our To Us As Milk
Is To An Infant, Providing Us
With Nourishment For Growth,
Liquid To Quench Our Thirst,
And Antibodies To Help Us
Fight Disease.
Our Scriptures
Emphasize The Importance
Of the Word As Our Principal
Source Of Spiritual Nourishment.
Jod 23:12
Encourages Us To Prioritize
The Word Over Other Distractions-
Even Our Most Basic Physical Needs.
We Are Admonished To Consume
Most Of The Word As We Grow,
Just Like A Child Whose Need For Food
Increases As He Grows.
Hed. 5:12-14
And Like An Elated Child Who Sees
Dinner Being Put On The Table,
Jeremiah exults That The Word
Was His Source Of Joy.
Jer 15:16
As We open Our Bibles,
We Don't Need To Be
Bashful!
Let Us eat Until We Are Full!
But He Has The Banquet Are Prepared.
