Word of Hope for Today by Bro. Rolly Custodio
A Desire for God’s Word
“As newborn babes, desire the pure milk
of the word." 1Pe 2:2 NKJV
Today’s Insight
How does a newborn baby desire milk?
With an intensity you can’t imagine unless you’ve heard the midnight cry! The
fact that you’ve worked hard all day and are tired, or that you fed the baby
just an hour earlier, doesn’t matter. An infant’s agenda is about as focused
and uncluttered as you can get. He or she wants to eat—right now! When was the
last time your spiritual stomach growled so much at midnight that you just had
to get up and feed your soul on God’s Word? Here’s how Peter addressed the
issue: “Therefore, laying aside all malice, all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and
all evil speaking, as newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that you
may grow thereby, if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is gracious” (vv. 1-3
NKJV). Note the words “if…you have tasted.” When you’ve tasted the real thing
you can’t get by on junk food. Your spiritual taste buds won’t let you. Note,
not only can you not ignore a baby’s hunger, you can’t fool their sense of
taste. When you start mixing stuff into their formula that wasn’t meant to be
there, their taste buds and stomach will reject it. Ever hear the phrase
“projectile vomiting”? Junk food is designed to fill a need with a quick fix
that may carry you for a while, but it doesn’t provide any real nourishment.
And you can tell when you’re spiritually malnourished and underdeveloped. Peter
says the symptoms are malice, deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and evil speaking. So
open your Bible today and pray, “Lord, give me a hunger for Your Word.”
