Milk, it does a body good, but...


it hurts the spirit.
We have all seen the advertisements on TV pitching the benefits of milk, how it builds strong bones and teeth and is a great source of calcium. And yep, I agree with all of that. But as beneficical as milk is to the body it is a significant detriment to the soul.
Paul the apostle spoke of some Christians who preferred milk over meat and somewhat called them babies in scripture. I think there are a lot of people like that today.
Milk is easy to fix, takes no effort and digest easy. Meat on the other hand takes more time, more preperation and doesn't digest as easy.
Many people take their spiritual journey only packing a gallon of milk and soon grow discouraged and fall away as they only get milk because they don't want to put forth the effort to eat meat.
Meat will sustain, enpower and endure where milk will spoil, smell and curdle.
So eat some meat on your spiritual journey, so you make it through.
