Bottle fed lamb

Bottle fed lamb

My friend owns a few sheep and this spring one ewe decided to reject her twins. To keep them alive they had to be bottle fed. Feeding was four times a day then down to three. When she was discussing how these little lambs did not seem to know how to eat grain or hay her neighbour suggested she cut back on the milk. Sure enough when she did they began to eat more of the solid food.

In our faith walk we can do the same. God’s word says we are to feed on the milk of the word but like anything else if we never get into studying as a steady diet we will stay stunted in our walk. When we eat the solid food of God’s word regularly we will get to know God and learn how to please Him. That will cause growth and we will face every trial with endurance!
