Today’s Scripture: if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is good. 1 Peter 2:3 ESV
Have you tasted the spiritual milk that promises our growth in 1 Peter 2:2? I have tasted it and it is good. When something tastes good do you want more?
Day after day that I seek after His spiritual milk, God continues to bless me and satisfy me. His word here says we will grow up in salvation. He has proven Himself to me that He will provide the nourishment I need when I need it. If we will go to Jesus and seek His Spirit we will be filled with His goodness.
When He calls us out of our darkness into His wonderful light we are able to share with others His goodness so they too will know His glory. Only through God’s goodness can we do good and grow spiritually.
In His goodness we learn to use the freedoms we have for Him.
Have you tasted the goodness of God?
Today’s Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank You for Your goodness and for the nourishment of Your Spirit. Thank You for providing me with the spiritual milk so that I may grow in You and also share with others so they too may see Your good deeds and glorify You. Amen

Desiray says
yes Tom God is sooooooo good, you know when I pray I always tell Him if I had a thousand tongues I could never praise Him enough….that is why I want those who don’t know Him to come to know who He is..

Have you tasted the spiritual milk that promises our growth in 1 Peter 2:2? Yes I have Tom and it is good indeed. I think many Christians forget that the Lord promises growth if we just stay connected to Him. It’s not a maybe thing. Growth and victory are assured if we just remain in His presence.
Tom Raines says
Amen jelillie! You are right, these verses do say we will grow up in the Spirit and many never come to know the great goodness of God because they can not take the time away from those things that rust and fly away. I myself spent most of my life there and it is my prayer that more and more will consistently drink of His Spiritual milk and taste His goodness. Blessings!
