”as newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby: if so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious. To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious,“
1 Peter 2:2-4 KJV
In the same way that nursing infants cry for milk, we must intensely crave the pure spiritual milk of God’s Word. For this “milk” will cause us to grow into maturity, fully nourished and strong for life — especially now that we have had a taste of the goodness of Yahweh and have experienced His kindness. So let’s keep coming to Him Who is the Living Stone —though He was rejected and discarded by men but chosen by God and is priceless in God’s sight. The “pure spiritual milk” is the sustaining power of God’s Word coming from His very breast, as it were, to nourish and strengthen our inner being. Let’s approach the Scriptures with an attitude of a newborn babe, drawing milk from the mother. The Word of God is our necessity and our delight - He is the Seed, the Word, the Milk, the Lord and the Living Stone. The Church is built on Christ, “the Living Stone”. He is our sure foundation. Amen!
