Baby or Adult Christian?

Brothers, I was not able to speak to you as spiritual people but as people of the flesh, as babies in Christ. I gave you milk to drink, not solid food, because you were not yet ready for it. In fact you are still not ready, because you are still fleshly. For since there is envy and strife among you, are you not fleshly and living like unbelievers? 1 Cor 3:1-3

What an indictment! Fancy been remembered for all time as fleshly believers! I know I was like this for the longest time. In fact I am sure there would have been those who wondered if I ever would walk in the Spirit. Yet God was faithful and brought me through.

Being a baby christian I was trapped in fleshly behaviour: envy and strife were a part of my life. Strife comes when we endeavour to get what we think should be ours, and are not trusting the Lord for what really is ours.

As I matured through reading the word and submitting to it and inviting the Holy Spirit to do His work in me I began to hunger for more of God, the deeper things.

Our walk is marked with learning to cling to Him. The more mature I become the more I must stay close and trust His opinion and His guidance. Amen!

Give up selfishness and foolish thinking, then wisdom will want to share space with you. Amen!
