Are you hungry?

The other day I was feeding my 6 month old. she is just learning to eat solid food. She was so excited about eating that her mouth was open wide and she was almost dancing in her seat. She couldn't wait to get that food. But when I gave her a bite of food, she spit it out. I guess it wasn't what she was expecting or what she wanted. Maybe what she was hoping for was yogurt or applesauce or bananas, but what I gave her was sweet potatoes.

Are we ever like that when it comes to our spiritual food, the Word of God? Do we feed on God's Word only to spit it out if it make us uncomfortable or if we don't like what it says?

2 Timothy 3:16-17 says, "All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work."  (NASB)

All of God's Word is good for us and beneficial to us.

1 Peter 2:2 says,  "like newborn babies, long for the pure milk of the word, so that by it you may grow in respect to salvation"  (NASB)


That phrase, "long for" refers to an intense and continuous desire. Spiritual growth begin and continues through the application of the Word of God.

So, are you hungry?
