The eaglets were hungry, and Mom and Dad seemed to be ignoring them. The oldest of the three decided to solve his hunger problem by gnawing on a twig. Apparently it wasn’t too tasty, because he soon abandoned it.   What intrigued me
about this little drama, which was being broadcast by webcam from
Norfolk Botanical Garden, was that a big fish lay just behind the
eaglets. But they had not yet learned to feed themselves. They still
relied on their parents to tear their food in tiny pieces and feed it
to them. Within a few weeks, however, the parents will teach the
eaglets how to feed themselves—one of their first survival lessons. If
the eaglets don’t learn this skill,
they will never be able to survive on their own.

By this time you ought to be teachers. —Hebrews 5:12 |
The author of
Hebrews spoke of a similar problem in the spiritual realm. Certain
people in the church were not growing in spiritual maturity. They had
not learned to distinguish between good and bad (Heb. 5:14). Like the
eaglet, they hadn’t learned the difference between a twig and a fish.
They still needed to be fed by someone else when they should have been
feeding not only themselves but others as well (v.12).
 While
receiving spiritual food from preachers and teachers is good, spiritual
growth and survival also depend on knowing how to feed ourselves.
You’ve given us
Your Spirit, Lord,
To help us grow, mature, and learn,
To teach us from Your written Word,
So truth from error we’ll discern. —Sper
Spiritual growth requires the solid
food of God’s Word.

¿Quien fue el hombre que mientras mentia Dios estaba con él y cuando dijo la verdad Dios se aparto de él?
Libro de Jueces : La historia de Sansón y Dalila. (Jueces 16:13 mentira, v. 17 dijo la verdad y v. 20 Dios se aparto de él.)- Después Sansón se enamoró de una mujer llamada Dalila, que vivía en el valle de Sore. Los jefes de los filisteos fueron a ver a Dalila, y le dijeron: –Engaña a Sansón y averigua de dónde le vienen sus fuerzas extraordinarias, y cómo podríamos vencerle; así podremos atarle y tenerle sujeto. A cambio de tus servicios, cada uno de nosotros te dará mil cien monedas de plata. -Entonces ella dijo a Sansón: –Por favor, dime de dónde te vienen esas fuerzas extraordinarias. ¿Hay algún modo de atarte sin que te puedas soltar?-Sansón le respondió: –Si me atan con siete cuerdas de arco que todavía no estén secas, perderé mi fuerza y seré un hombre común y corriente. Los jefes de los filisteos llevaron a Dalila siete cuerdas de arco nuevas, y con ellas Dalila ató a Sansón. Y como ya antes había escondido a unos hombres en su cuarto, gritó: –¡Sansón, te atacan los f...
