Move To The Next Level

I gave you milk, not solid food, for you were not yet ready for it. Indeed, you are still not ready. 1 Corinthians 3:2

Mostly everything in life requires you to advance ‘next level’. Video game play, sports training, education, parenthood. You name it and it is necessary to move to next level in order to achieve your goals.  A baby can’t crawl forever. Eventually they proceed to pull themselves up and walk. A figure skater advances through stages in order to achieve some of the fancier and more difficult jumps. In school a student studies to advance their education as no one stays in kindergarten. 

Your Christian walk is a training ground  of sorts too. It is great to memorize John 3:16 as a child and sing Jesus’ Loves Me but you need to go beyond that to be a mature believer. Many are quite content staying a babe in Christ. Not sure why. There is more to being a Christian than Sunday school attendance pins and church attendance. It is a matter of your heart. Your heart directs the course of your life.

Whatever you love you make time for. Whoever you love you make time for. It is my hope one of the things you make time for is Jesus.

PRAYER: I don’t want to stay a little tiny baby in Christ but I want and need solid food to help me grow and learn more about resisting the enemy. In 2018 I want to grow up more and thus eat ‘solid food’. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
