The journey to spiritual maturity requires moving beyond dependency on spiritual milk to embracing solid food. The apostle Paul expressed frustration at the chronic dependency in congregations, noting to the Corinthians that they were fed with milk and not solid food because they were still carnal and unable to receive deeper teachings. Similarly, to the Hebrews, he indicated that these congregations were not equipped to feed themselves, unable to discern the spiritual from the carnal. It is vital for us to wean ourselves spiritually from the bottle, revitalizing our appetite for the weightier matters of faith. Many have seemingly lost their desire for solid spiritual food over time, becoming conditioned to wait for weekly sermons rather than ravenously devouring God's Word daily. If Sabbath services are the only times we are spiritually nourished, we risk starving to death. Our spiritual diet, much like our physical one, should consist of both carbohydrates and proteins. Carbohydrates, likened to individual scriptures from sermons, provide immediate fuel. Proteins, akin to God's Holy Spirit, serve as building blocks, transforming isolated spiritual facts into eternal principles, giving structure and understanding. Without this structure, scriptures remain mere knowledge without deeper insight. Jesus reminds us that we cannot live by bread alone, emphasizing the need for both immediate fuel and long-term spiritual growth. Preparing spiritual food as an adult involves preserving, canning, and storing it properly. Diligently taking notes and storing up spiritual preserves ensures we are not caught without nourishment during a famine of the Word. Meat in due season will rot if not prepared and preserved correctly, just as spiritual insights must be assimilated and applied. The breakup of past fellowships underscored the necessity of having spiritual reserves, as many found themselves starving spiritually without stored resources. We must learn to feed ourselves, engaging in daily Bible study as our life-sustaining manna, rather than passively waiting to be fed. A real spiritual appetite is developed and sustained by active involvement in God's work. Jesus declared that His food was to do the will of Him who sent Him and to finish His work. Participating in the spiritual harvest, especially in this urgent phase of preparing the bride for Christ, builds a robust appetite. If our spiritual hunger wanes, it may be due to a lack of engagement in this harvest. The key to developing an adult spiritual appetite lies in applying ourselves to the will and work of God.
