Solid Food

My bookshelves are full of books on the craft of writing and when I decided to de-clutter I started going through the books. Because I highlight and underline it was easy re-read the highlights and evaluate whether or not I needed to keep them. I was surprised at how I have grown and implemented most of what the books had to offer. I’m now looking at my Bible with a new perspective — as a measure of maturity. The writer of Hebrews said, “We have much to say about this, but it is hard to explain because you are slow to learn. In fact, though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you the elementary truths of God’s word all over again. You need milk, not solid food! Anyone who lives on milk, being still an infant, is not acquainted with the teaching about righteousness. But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil” (Heb 5:11-14 NIV).
