One verse that the Lord has been feeding my spirit with is found in 1 Peter 2:2- As newborn babes desire the sincere milk of the word that you may grow by it!
Growth, a word that many of us as believers desire and pray for but the word of God gives us a clear diet for becoming a strong Christian. Tuesday Leah had to go to the pediatrician for her 16 month appointment and they asked a few questions about her diet. They told us that she needed a certain amount of milk in her diet to help her develop. The doctor went on to talk about the different types of ways she could get the nutrients that milk could offer. But there is no substitute for the milk that brings vital supplements to her body. The lesson here is that we need the WORD OF GOD to help us grow. My prayer has been lately that the Lord would give me a unquenchable thirst for His word. That the word would edify me more than anything else.. The prayers are being answered, last night Sue went to dinner with her Aunt and I had been looking forward to watching a "guy" movie for several days. You know one of those movies that most women would rather go to the dentist than to watch :) Full of action and shooting! I watched about the first 15 minutes of it and was totally distracted from this leading to read the word. I turned off the movie and for the next hour just devoured the book of John. O Lord may the word become more attractive than anything this world has to offer. Start praying today that the Lord would increase and that you would decrease..
