1Pt2

God's word to a christian is like milk to a newborn baby. Nothing is more essential to life and growth. 

I continue to be discouraged by the number of christians who are all but illiterate when it comes to the bible. Their fluency in television, the outdoors, sports and other things astound me. BUT when it comes to knowing the bible, it is as though they have been in prison camp with absolutely no time or opportunity to do anything but hard labor!

We need to value the word of God more. There is nothing like it and by reading and studying it, we can grow in our understanding of who God is and what He wants from us. I am grateful for the habit of daily reading God's word. I still am challenged by this chapter to "long for it like as newborn longs for milk."

Value God's word today by spending time reading and meditating on it.
