As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby: “1 Peter 2:2′
In this verse, the apostle exhorts believers to crave the marvelous righteous Word of God, that they may grow and mature in their faith. This verse highlights the importance of regularly feeding on the Scriptures, which provide nourishment for the soul and enable us to live out our calling as children of God.
As newborn believers, we are called to grow in our faith and this growth is fueled by the truth fulfilling Word of God. Just as a newborn baby requires milk to develop and thrive, we must desire and consume the nourishing Word of God in order to grow spiritually. It is a daily process of feeding on the truth of Scripture, allowing it to shape and transform our hearts and minds.
Through the Lord Jesus Christ, God has spoken to us and given us a written record of His marvelous righteous Word in the Scriptures. It is not enough to simply read the Bible, but we must also apply its principles to our lives, being doers of the Word and not just hearers. And as we grow, trust and believe by being obedient to God’s Word, we are called to share it with others so that they too may hear, receive and believe in Jesus Christ, all through the honor and glory of God our majestic sovereign reigning Heavenly Father who deserve to be praised forevermore.
Let us pray:
Dear Lord almighty Heavenly Father, I thank You for the privilege of being born again into Your family. Help me to desire Your marvelous righteous Word more than anything else in this world. As I meditate on Your Word, please open my eyes to see the great mysteries that are hidden within. Give me a hunger for Your Word, that I may grow in my faith and love for You. Thank You for providing me with everything I need to live a godly life, through the knowledge of Your Son, Jesus Christ. I pray this throughout the mighty glorious name of Jesus Christ. Amen
Much LoVe, JoY, Peace and Blessings through Jesus Christ, our almighty, wonderful, infinite loving Lord, Saviour and Redeemer, in who we faithfully abide, trust, believe and a abundantly do receive throughout His marvelous righteous Word and His truth fulfilling Holy Spirit.
