DAILY READINGS: Numbers 15; Proverbs 12; 1 Peter 4
As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye
may grow thereby. 1 Peter 2:2
A neighbours’s calf wandered into our fi elds. It was scrawny and
suff ering from severe malnutrition. I phoned my neighbour to let
him know where it was. He said a cow had died but he did not realize
it had a calf and suggested I keep it as he had no means of feeding
it. A month later, having been fed by a nurse cow, it was strong
and healthy. Today there are many Christians as “skinny” as that
malnourished calf because they scarcely ever read the Bible. They
are spiritually starving. Do you desire the milk of the Word? It is the
only means of spiritual growth and health. —J. Fleming
Lamp of faith, my feet to lead, Bread of heav’n, my soul to feed;
Living waters pure and free, book of books thou art to me. —F. Crosby
