Scripture - Hebrews 5:12 By now you should be teachers, but you need someone to teach you again the first lessons of God's message. You still need the teaching that is like milk. You are not ready for solid food.
Observation - We need to move on past the milk stage to solid foods. When we are first saved, the Lord feeds us milk so we can grow just like a baby does in the natural. Then at a certain point, he wants us to move on to meatier teaching. He doesn't want us to only drink milk when we've walked with him for many years. Our Father knows the right time to introduce us to deeper teaching. At that point, He disciples us. We must listen for his voice and follow him.
Application - There are many believers living unfulfilled lives because they are still in the baby stage. God wants us to grow up and help others to grow up also. We must be taught and discipled. We have to be willing to put ourselves in places where God's Word is taught so we can grow.
Prayer - Father, help me to grow in your teaching so that I may teach others your ways and help them grow from the baby stage to maturity. Amen.
