What’s Your Spiritual Diet? (Milk or Meat)

Scripture:  John 13:17 If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them.

The purpose of the Bible is not merely for knowledge and information
The Lord provided this divine source for change and transformation
 
Surely, we open it with a contrite heart to meditate and memorize
But, the experience is beyond the pages, as the Writer and Finisher authorized
 
Yet, many believers are at the table preparing to eat
Their appetite is big, but still not ready for meat
 
Have you lived out what was written to apply to your daily life?
Are you following His commandments, or do you require milk as a babe in Christ?
 
Jesus said, “Now that you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them”
Seeking those that are lost, unaware, or resistant, and teach them
 
His expectation is maturity
His position is the authority
 
My duty is to seek Him
My role is to listen
 
He provided His word
I execute what’s heard
 
He provides a menu for a Holy diet
Whether its milk or meat, it's up to me to apply it
 
Therefore, I am clear that it’s my responsibility His expectations are met
He promised me in John 13:17, if I do what He says, I will be blessed
 
Prayer:  Lord, meet me where I am. Surely, I do not what to be where I was 5 years ago or 10 years ago. My thoughts, words, and actions should be maturing. Continue to teach me Your ways biblically and experientially. You are awesome! I see now more than ever how You care for us. Bless You, Lord! In the name of Jesus, Amen!
