Like newborn infants, desire the pure milk of the word, so that by it you may grow up into your salvation. —1 Peter 2:2
When my husband and I first became Christians, we were excited to read our Bibles. Every morning, we would read the Bible together. We’d ask each other questions, look up things in a concordance, and pray. The more we spent time in God’s Word, the more He grew our hunger for it.
We couldn’t wait to open the Bible each morning and see what the Lord was going to teach us. It was that zeal and fervency of being new believers that I wish we could maintain for the entirety of our Christian lives.
God’s Word is always life giving, but we go through seasons and times where we step away from it. I want to challenge you, however, to not let the circumstances of life draw you away from the Word but press in even more because it’s the only place you will find satisfaction. It is the only place you will find joy. And it’s the only place you will find life.

Do you have the same zeal for God’s Word as when you became a Christian? How can you press in more to His Word?
