A call to spiritual maturity

I saw an image of a pacifier. I feel that God is calling us to spiritual maturity. As babies, we are content with milk for every meal, for we do not realise that there is something much better in store for us. As we grow and become more mature, we enjoy solid food of a variety of flavours and textures. This is something we could never have imagined or experienced as babies. In the same way, spiritually we are not aware of the magnificent abundance which is available for us, for we are content with spiritual milk.

I feel that God is saying that we should desire the ‘more’ that He has in store for us, so that we can move beyond being a newborn in the Spirit, but rather become mature in the Spirit. I was reminded of 1 Corinthians 3:2 – “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.” Let us desire to become more mature in God, so that we are ready to receive the abundant ‘solid food’ God has in store for us.
