I am studying 1 Peter with a group of women from my church right now. Here are a couple verses that really stood out to me.
1 Peter 2:2-3
“Like newborn babies, you must crave pure spiritual milk so that you will grow into a full experience of salvation. Cry out for this nourishment, 3 now that you have had a taste of the Lord’s kindness.”
What a great visual! Do you cry out for Him like a baby cries out for milk?
1 Peter 3:10-12
“For the Scriptures say, “If you want to enjoy life and see many happy days, keep your tongue from speaking evil and your lips from telling lies. Turn away from evil and do good. Search for peace, and work to maintain it. The eyes of the Lord watch over those who do right, and his ears are open to their prayers. But the Lord turns his face against those who do evil.”
How often do we pray with a longing for happiness. Does the Bible not clearly give us instructions on how to obtain happy days? Yet, we go searching for happiness in other ways.
