Eating the Solid Food of Gods Word By Joyce Meyer I remember feeding my babies and as long as I was giving them bananas and peaches, everything was great. But when Id slip in a spoonful of peas, theyd go Phftt! So Id scrape the peas off their chin and shove it back in their mouth again. It took me awhile, but sooner or later, they were eating peas. Its the same with baby Christians. When we start consuming Gods Word, we start growing up spiritually. We stop walking in the flesh and start doing what He wants us to do. Proverbs 4:18 tells us the path of righteousness shines brighter and clearer every day as we continue in Gods Word. The key word here is continue. Weve got to love the Word, study the Word, and listen to the Word so it can transform us. Have you ever run a yellow light? Maybe youre in a hurry and think, I can make it through this. If you do that over and over, youre bound to end up in a wreck. Well, its the same with Gods Word. If we go ahead and do what we know we shouldnt be doing and just try to sneak by, we can end up getting hurt. Gods Word is here to protect us. Hebrews 5:14 says, Solid food is for those who are mature, who through training have the skill to recognize the difference between right and wrong (NLT). The solid food of the Word will convict you, and thats a positive thing. Its the Holy Spirit letting you know in your heart that your attitude stinks or that youre on the wrong path. Getting in the Word is the key to living life in the right direction. So dont be a baby...take in the solid food of the Word! Prayer Starter: God, I know that Your Word is the only path to maturity. Dont let me be a baby! Guide me and help me to grow as I take in the solid food of Your Word.
