M is for Meat not Milk!

...Like Newborn Babes, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation. I Pet 2:2

...For everyone that uses milk is unskillful in the word of righteousness; for he is a babe. But solid food is for fullgrown men, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern good and evil.      Heb 5:13-14

Nature takes precedence in the growth cycle of a baby and determines what sort of food that baby can chew and/or digest. But for the purpose of my current situation, nature is going to be defied and growth will be rapid.

Like I mentioned in my very first post, a very important phase of my life is about to begin and I have to be ready for it.

Prov 3:15 "She provides meat for her family and maidservants".

How can you give what you do not have? The time to graduate from milk to meat is now. If I am to feed my household the meat of Gods word, I have to learn to chew and then teach the babes around me. Understanding of Gods word is important to administer it to hubby and children.

That proverbs woman should be filled with the word of God. To read the bible is one thing, to understand is another. Understanding is what makes the difference. Understanding gives you the knowledge to apply the word. It gives you the wisdom to teach it to others.

This morning I read in Prov 18:6, A fools lips walks into a fight and his mouth invites a beating. Before I read it, i was at the brink of saying some unfriendly things to hubby to be and then the word reminded me to be quiet. See! Already learning to be wise in the choosing of my words and timing of my "sermons".

It was a good example of why I need to move from milk to meat.

Stay read up folks. The word is a manual for everyday!
