A Nourishing Constant!

The following has been suggested as seven stages of mankind: (stage 1) Milk. (stage 2) Milk and vegetables. (stage 3) Milk, ice cream sodas, and candy. (stage 4) Steak, Coke, French fries, and ham and eggs. (stage 5) Frogs' legs, caviar, Crepe Suzettes, and Champagne. (stage 6) Milk and crackers. (stage 7) Milk. [selected]

Does that appear to end where it all began? The first three stages and the last two included MILK. What about the other two? At least with number five I would be inclined to get rid of the frog's legs, caviar and Champagne and include the MILK. Is it not true that some things should remain the constant whether we are talking about the nourishment of our lives physically or spiritually?

Peter urged. . .
"(2) Like newborn infants, LONG FOR THE PURE SPIRITUAL MILK, that by it you may GROW UP INTO SALVATION -- (3) if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is good." ( 1 Peter 2:2-3 ESV)

Though our diet should be able to handle more solid food (physical and spiritual) as we grow -- a subject using the analogy of MILK noted by both Paul ( 1 Corinthians 3:2) and the Hebrew writer ( Hebrews 5:12-13) -- still, just as MILK can continue providing good nutrition and be very refreshing to the physical body, so it is with the pure SPIRITUAL MILK OF GOD'S WORD! Whatever our age of faith, may we continue to crave it! It will do the spiritual body good!

Have a great life DAILY DRINKING IN GOD'S LIFE REFRESHING WORD!
