Growth

Food That Strengthens

"As newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that you may grow."
1 Peter 2:2

Reflection

A baby who does not feed does not grow. God’s Word is food for the heart: whoever reads a little every day grows strong inside.

Prayer

Father, give me hunger for Your Word every day. Amen!

Talk about it as a family

  1. What happens if we skip meals?
  2. How is the Bible like food for the heart?
  3. When can we "eat" a little Bible every day?

5-minute activity

During a snack, read one short verse together for each bite. Pick a time of day for the family to read a little of the Bible this week. Read 1 Peter 2:2.
