Reflections

Playing with toddlers can be so fun. But not when 20 year olds still behave like one. Have we grown up yet? Or are we still infants, toddlers in Christ? How do we know where we are? During my devotions, these verses made me pause.

1 Corinthians 3:1 - 3 (NIV) 1 Brothers, I could not address you as spiritual but as worldly—mere infants in Christ. 2 I gave you milk, not solid food, for you were not yet ready for it. Indeed, you are still not ready. 3 You are still worldly. For since there is jealousy and quarreling among you, are you not worldly? Are you not acting like mere men?

If our perspectives and attitudes still align with the world, if the ways of this world still hold much sway in our hearts, then we are still worldly. Spiritual infants. But if God's ways and His perspectives are what we grasp hold off, then we are spiritual. And our attitudes and actions will reflect that.
