Baby's Pure Milk

Instinctively, a baby latches on to the breast of its mother.  The infant cannot even focus yet!  He cannot see the face of the mother nor her breast but he knows by design that what he longs for is found there.  If he longs for it and cannot find it, he lets everyone that can hear in on the dilemma.  The newborn baby longs for the milk.  Man, too, has a longing!  And as Augustine wrote, “Our hearts are restless until they find their rest in Him.”  Like the newborn, we have a dilemma and we cry out in many ways.  As Christians, we should know where the milk is found yet many times we let circumstance or busyness hide the nourishment.  We must be vigilant because the Enemy of our souls would have us weak in order to hinder our bringing glory to God.  Once that baby tastes that milk for the first time, he has learned where to get it and how.  Have we “tasted the kindness of the Lord through salvation”?  “Therefore, putting aside all malice and all deceit and hypocrisy and envy and all slander, like newborn babies, long for the pure milk of the Word, so that by it you may grow in respect to salvation, if you have tasted the kindness of the Lord.”  1 Peter 2:1-3   God’s Word is invigorating!  Feed on it!  The more you taste, the more you want and the more you’ll grow.  As you grow, as Michael Card wrote, “I loose myself in finding Thee.  O LORD, You mean so much to me.”  Then we’ll be able to get to the business of Kingdom priorities.  There’s a world of unsaved people crying out in many ways because they have a dilemma.  They cannot find the milk.  They cannot see!  Let us be vigilant against the Enemy and fervent for Christ!
