Luke 2:52 And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.  As Jesus grew up physically, being God and man, He was also growing spiritually.   God’s children are instructed to grow in grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.   To grow physically,  we must partake of a proper diet.
Emphasis is being made in the current administration on eating real food.  America has become junk-food aholics!  In order to grow spiritually we must maintain a proper diet as well.
Notice… Jeremiah 15:16  Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O LORD God of hosts.   Many of God’s people have no appetite for real spiritual food because they are consuming way too much junk food.  I love peanut M&M’s.  But I also love my precious wife’s cooking!  I refuse to allow the treat to take priority over the meal!  How long since you had a good meal at God’s table?  John said this… He must increase, but I must decrease.   You see, if you and I will first decrease… humble ourselves before God, we too can increase in wisdom and favor with God and man.  Are you growing?  Perhaps you’ve been on the milk of the word for years.  Why not pull up to God’s table today and say… Lord, pass the meat please, that I might grow for your glory. Amen.  Pastor
