Mar 16 - Train Your Senses
"For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for
he is a babe. But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even
those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good
and evil."
(Hebrews 5:13-14)

Dear Addison,
You're spiritually "grown up" or mature when, through practice, you have
trained your senses to discern between good and evil. You've practiced walking
in the Spirit and renewing your mind by the Word of God until even your flesh
habitually goes God's way instead of the world's way.
Stop and think for a moment. Aren't there some things your old flesh used to
pressure you to do before you made Jesus Lord of your life that you don't
even want to do anymore?
There are for me. For example, I used to smoke tobacco, and I felt sorry for
all those Christians who couldn't. But you know what? Now that I'm a believer,
I have no desire for tobacco anymore. It is not even part of my thoughts much
less my lifestyle.
That's the kind of thing that happens as you feed and renew your mind on the
Word of God. It doesn't necessarily happen quickly or easily. Your flesh may
fight and buck for a while because it's been trained to go the way of the
world so long. But if you stick with the Word and keep growing, your flesh can
develop the habit of righteousness just like it developed the habit of
unrighteousness.
Don't starve your spirit by trying to get by on just a little spiritual milk
now and then. Develop the habit of feeding on the solid food of the Word every
day and find out what real maturity is all about.
