TXT - Day Two Bible Reading

Sorry about not posting this yesterday. Here is Day 2 Reading.


Monday we learned that our Scriptures are inspired or literally “God-breathed.” God has worked to ensure that the words we have in the Bible are exactly the way he wants them to be. They are in every sense his words.

Because the Scriptures as God’s words, they are also true because God is true. God cannot tell a lie, and therefore his words…the Scriptures…are always true. This means that when the Bible speaks on a subject, it’s principles and commands are always best. They are true and what should be – even if they don’t always point to the easiest or most comfortable way. They are best for us.

In 1 Peter 2:1-5, Peter calls us to desire the “unadulterated spiritual milk.” This literally could be translated, “the pure milk of the word.” This passage is calling us to walk away from who we used to be and long for what God wants us to be. To help explore how this plays out in our lives, answer the following questions on 1 Peter 2:1-5:

1. Why does Peter call us to pursue spiritual milk?

2. It what ways have you “tasted that the Lord is good?” Make a list, and use this as motivation to continue pursuing him in the Scriptures.

3. If you are honest with yourself, what is competing with the Scripture for attention in your life? How can you ensure that you don’t choose it over spiritual growth?

4. What do you think it means that Christians are being “built into a spiritual house for a holy priesthood?” The basic job of a priest is to connect people with God. What people has God put in your life this week that need connecting with him? How are you going to help them take steps in that direction?
