Once you've experienced God's love--gotten a "taste" of His blessings--we inevitably want to experience more. This passage uses the metaphor of food to describe the process of spiritual growth.

Milk in the Bible: Hebrews 5:12-14
In any long endeavor that requires patience, it's easy to wait to "skip ahead" past the basic but necessary elements at the beginning. In this passage, Paul chides some Christians for diving into situations that require real spiritual maturity, without having spent the time getting down the basics of the faith first.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - A Healthy Appetite - #4205
Watching my granddaughter's demand for mama's milk has actually helped me understand even more how God uses that example in showing us how to grow in Him. I feel like He's talking about my little darlin' when He says in 1 Peter 2:2, our word for today from the Word of God, "Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation."

So how's your appetite? Can you honestly say, "I can't wait for my next time to get into God's words? I really miss it when I don't have that time?" See if your appetite for what God says is something less than strong and insistent, think about what may be affecting your appetite.
