Baby Steps

We are always in a hurry to get nowhere fast, and life struggles to keep up. The same goes for our walk with God. We try so hard to be grown up Christians that we miss the life God has for us. Try feeding a steak to a baby, or even some chicken. their teeth don't start coming in until about six months, then it takes a few years until they have the teeth to chew meat.

I have been a believer for about 20 years now, but it has been in the past 7 to 5 years that I have really grown. The problem was, I had grown up in church and thought I already knew everything, and tried to rely on that. What I didn't know was that I didn't have real understanding of God , the Bible or the Christian life. It wasn't until I fed on the "milk" of the Word that growth began.

Don't be weary of the "milk", it is essential for growth, you have to cut your teeth spiritually on it first. God will use it to grow you to become a healthy Christian.

¹ Dear brothers and sisters, when I was with you I couldn’t talk to you as I would to spiritual people. I had to talk as though you belonged to this world or as though you were infants in the Christian life. ² I had to feed you with milk, not with solid food, because you weren’t ready for anything stronger. And you still aren’t ready, ³ for you are still controlled by your sinful nature. You are jealous of one another and quarrel with each other. Doesn’t that prove you are controlled by your sinful nature? Aren’t you living like people of the world?
