You know, until just recently, I never really understood what Paul and the others said about spiritual milk and meat. I mean, I could logically follow it. I understood that scripture was like food, and that some are like babies and can only handle a little, while others who have grown can handle more beef as it were. But it really didn't click with me until recently. It was one of those epiphany moments I sometimes get. I was reading my Bible, and it suddenly dawned on me what I've been doing. I've been devouring it like one would devour a large and delicious steak dinner. Only a few years ago, I could barely read the thing too. I don't know, it just seemed so big, and I could barely read any of it before getting tired of it, or feeling overwhelmed. I think much of my teenage years were spent as a child in such a way. I would barely look at my bible for months at a time. And then something happened. I just started reading it, and I couldn't stop.
Until I started reading it like I do, I don't think I understood when people called reading it spiritual food. I liked reading the more exciting parts only because I wasn't really being nourished. But I get it now. One doesn't just read it, well, you do, but as one does, it's like feeding a second stomach you never realized you had, or that it was hungry until then.
Speaking of hungry, I am, and I go to get some pizza and cold buffalo wings. And away I go.
