Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation, now that you have tasted that the Lord is good.
Did you see Bobbye's comment on the last post?
"I didn't realize until re-reading this morning that this is the 2nd half of an instruction. Not sure I'm crazy about the first half! Lol!"
The first verse says, "Therefore, rid yourselves of all malice and all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and slander of every kind." 1 Peter 2:1
That's definitely a challenging verse! Did you notice the therefore? What's that THERE FOR? 1 Peter 1 is a great chapter too!
This is a good reminder to read in context. If you just read the verse, you miss out on lots of important things the Lord has for you.
I've kind of been stuck on verse 3, "now that you have tasted that the Lord is good." If we've tasted that the Lord is good, shouldn't we crave pure spiritual milk? Why do so many Christians settle for less than the feast the Lord has for them? I fear I am often guilty of this very thing.
May you taste and see that the Lord is good today!
Psalm 34:8, "Taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the man who takes refuge in him."
