Your Daily Bible Verse

(1 Cor 3:2 NKJV)  I fed you with milk and not with solid food; for until now you were not able to receive it, and even now you are still not able;

As we raise our children and they grow from infants into toddlers, we wean them from milk onto solid food. They need the nutrition of the solid food in order to grow in a way that’s healthy.

When they’re still infants they can’t handle solid food. They can’t digest it. If we tried to feed them solid food at this stage of their lives it could harm them or even kill them.

The same is true with God. He can only give us what we’re ready for. If he gives us something we can’t handle, we won’t know what to do with it and we will probably hurt ourselves or make a big mess of things.

Sometimes we ask God for something and it just doesn’t happen. So we continue to ask Him. Sometimes we even become discouraged and start to lose our faith when it doesn’t happen when we think it should.

There’s usually a good reason why things don’t happen when we think they should. We’re usually not ready for it, and that’s why God hasn’t given it to us. If he gave it to us just because we asked, but we weren’t ready to be able to handle it, we would probably mishandle it or hurt ourselves (or someone else).

So we need to stop repetitively asking God for the thing that we’ve been asking for and start asking Him what it is that’s keeping it from coming to us.

Many times it’s us that is the problem.
