As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby: — 1 Peter 2:2

Salvation is a very priceless possession. However, if a child persists in the same stage of growth and development for an extended period of time, we know there is a serious problem. Physical growth in children stopping is a very worrying sign. This is also true in our spiritual lives, Hebrews 6 reminds us. God does not want us to remain in our infancy! He wants us to keep improving. Our Heavenly Father wants us to desire good things that build us up. What are you going to do today, then, to sate your spiritual hunger and draw nearer to the Lord?

Prayer

Mighty God, I appreciate your love and saving me. I sincerely hope to develop in your grace. Bless me as I work to establish virtuous habits and acquaint myself with spiritually nourishing materials today. But Holy God, I recognize that only you can bring about true growth, so I humbly implore you to fortify me with your Spirit as I strive to follow your character. In Jesus’s precious name I pray. Amen.
