A healthy spiritual life.

Greetings brothers and friends,


Our spiritual life is like the physical life. You must take care, feed, exercise, train.


When we are children we drink milk, and liquid foods, then we add to our diet, solid foods, we will learn words, and we will try to walk slowly.

When we begin in the ways of the Lord, we are like children, we must be fed by spiritual milk to be able to mature in God, our path is at first slow, we must learn things we did not know, despite being physically adult, but what There are many spiritual things that we do not know.

1 Peter 2: 2

desire, as newborn children, unadulterated spiritual milk, so that through it you may grow for salvation,

We must drink spiritual milk every day, that which will give us the vitamins and strength necessary to grow healthy and strong spiritually. Just as breast milk provides the baby with necessary vitamins and strengthens him, spiritual milk is life and strength in the believer.

Milk in humans strengthens bones and teeth, likewise, spiritual milk will strengthen us so that we can then eat solid foods, those that we can digest according to our spiritual growth and development.

The babies want desperately long for the milk provided by the mother, I remember that my 2 daughters were addicted to breast milk,if I was late 1 minute in giving them milk, they cried and cried a desperately. Thus God wants us to yearn for our spiritual milk in that same way.

The word of God is that milk that will provide us with the formation and growth necessary to then enter other spiritual levels that will allow us to later eat solid. We must yearn to read the word every day, desire it at all times and meditate on it, it is not just reading it, but analyzing and understanding it, asking the Holy Spirit to give us the wisdom to understand and digest it.

There are groups or sects that adulterate the word, preach and add words that do not agree with what God commands, that is why we must feed ourselves well so as not to let ourselves be dragged by doctrines that will take us away from God's way. Everything must be tested with The word of God, nothing that is contrary to the word, is true or correct. It is there where we mature spiritually.

Hebrews 5: 13-14.

13 And everyone who participates in milk is inexperienced in the word of justice, because he is a child;
14 but the solid food is for those who have reached maturity, for those who, through use, have the senses exercised in the discernment of good and evil.

Only when we mature we understand many things that when we were beginners we did not understand and our spiritual senses are sharpening. In this way, nothing can move us from the right path because we will be strengthened and mature in the Lord.
