<h3 style="text-align: center;"><strong>SPIRITUAL GROWTH - 1Pe 2:2 NKJV</strong></h3>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">“Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that… you may grow.”</span></p>
We all know about the famous Heinz food products slogan, 57 varieties. Well, most of us have at least that many excuses for not reading our Bible every day. You say, “But I have a very busy life.” Edgar G. Watts of North Hollywood, California, aged eighty-four, read the Bible from cover to cover 161 times. And here’s something you probably don’t know: he had the use of only one eye for fifty-five years. Can you imagine telling a physical trainer you’d really like to be fit, but you don’t have time to come to the gym? He’d say you’re not serious! Jeremiah said, “When your words come, I ate them; they were my joy and my heart’s delight” (Jer 15:16 NKJV). Developing a love for the Scripture requiresthree things: (1) Decision. You may not feel like going to work each day, or caring for your family, but you know it’s your duty so you do it. What about your soul? Don’t you have a duty to feed yourself spiritually and stay strong? (3) Delight. When you reach this phase, the battle over Bible reading is won. When business leaders are about to make an important decision, they say, it’s time to pukll the trigger.” Stop “dabbling!” It’s time to pull the trigger and give God’s word its rightful place in your life. “Like newborn babies,cave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up”. “We are bound to thank God always for you, Brethren, as it is fitting, because your faith grows exceedingly, and thelove of every one of you abounds …..” (2 Thessa. 1: 3)
