Babes

We read in Joshua 5.12 that the Manna ceased. As long as the children of I[Israel were in the wildernass, God supplied them with Manna daily. After coming to Canaan it ceased. They had to work hard for their food from now on, Inorder to come to spiritual maturity we must become active partners with God, In the beginning of our spiritual life for a short time God will look after us and watch over us ina special way. But as we progress in spiritual maturity God expects us to exercise faith to a larger extent and call upon Him for help, for accomplishing more difficult spiritual fruit. He wants us to find out His will with greater precision and bear our responsibilities and face trials and difficulties, which are common toatl, withe more matured confidence with God’s help. This way God wants us to learn to claim His victory by faith.

Tha apostle Paul, sometimes expounded many mysteries in the Word of God to help his followers in spiritual matters. Then, while he was away, he wrote to them to work out their salvation with fear and trembling (Phil. 2:12). so for a short time God will give us shepherds to feed us, teach us and lead us,.. Afterwards we have to learn to work by ourselves. We must learn to read the Bible with deeper capacity of understanding it and to meditate upon it and be able to hear God’s voice through it, Some believers remain as babes for too long a time. They want other God’s servants to feed them with milk. They do not grow and become more understanding nor have progressive capacity to digast the strong spiritual meat in God‘s word (Heb. 5:12-15). May the Lord help us to learn more and more how to hear His voice and find His perfect will and thus no more to continua to be babes in spiritual growth.
