Growth

Once you stop growing you start to die.  We all grow in many ways, personally, professionally, physically. I have been in school studying and have grown in my knowledge of the medical sciences. Our family has grown by the addition of one new child. But one area where growth is necessary but often hindered, is in our spiritual growth, that is growth that brings us closer to God.   In Hebrews 5 verses 12 through 14 we read, “12 For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the first principles of the [a]oracles of God; and you have come to need milk and not solid food. 13 For everyone who partakes only of milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, for he is a babe. 14 But solid food belongs to those who are [b]of full age, that is, those who by reason of [c]use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.”  So, we see here that God wants us to mature as Christians that is part of something we are supposed to do. We are not supposed to drink milk all our lives. Our new son was on an all liquid diet for a while but he grew but at some point he needed to eat real food to help him get nutrients to help him to continue to grow.  Same with us as Christians, we need more of that meat of the word…
