The
eaglets were hungry, and Mom and Dad seemed to be ignoring them. The

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.

Así como una casa necesita una limpieza constante para permanecer habitable, el corazón también necesita desinfectarse constantemente para seguir siendo la morada del Espíritu Santo. Desinfectar el corazón es más que simplemente olvidar lo que nos ha herido. Es permitir que Dios entre en cada rincón de nuestra alma, eliminando lo que no proviene de él. Es abrir las ventanas de nuestro corazón para que la luz del amor de Dios entre y disipe la oscuridad del orgullo, la ira y la incredulidad. Esta limpieza no ocurre de repente. Es un proceso diario que se logra mediante la oración sincera, el arrepentimiento verdadero y la lectura de la Palabra. Cuando entregamos al Señor lo que nos agobia, él cambia la su...
