FLUTTER WINGS! – 1 Peter 2:2 Devotional
1 Peter 2:2
“Like newborn babies, you must crave pure spiritual milk so that you will grow into a full experience of salvation. Cry out for this nourishment.”
For many years I have enjoyed feeding wild birds outside my window. It has been especially interesting to observe when newborn babies arrive at the feeders. They cannot be identified by their size since most of the time they appear to be the same size as their parents, or even larger.
So how do they stand out as baby birds? They have “flutter wings.” They perch near the feeders and flutter their wings waiting for their mother to come and bring food to their open beak. Sometimes even other species will feed these hungry babes.
I think this is the picture of what the Lord desires for each of His children. It is His wish that we may seek from Him the life-giving spiritual nourishment that will cause us to grow strong in the faith.
Here is the important question: Are you fluttering your spiritual wings as you seek after the spiritual food to be found in the Bible. If not, I urge you to spend time on your knees to rekindle the flame of your first love.
Blessings dear hearts! May you as you bless others by your words and actions!
