(1 Cor 3:2 NKJV)\u00a0 I fed you with milk and not with solid food; for until now you were not able to receive it, and even now you are still not able;<\/p>\n
As we raise our children and they grow from infants into toddlers, we wean them from milk onto solid food. They need the nutrition of the solid food in order to grow in a way that\u2019s healthy.<\/p>\n
When they\u2019re still infants they can\u2019t handle solid food. They can\u2019t digest it. If we tried to feed them solid food at this stage of their lives it could harm them or even kill them.<\/p>\n
The same is true with God. He can only give us what we\u2019re ready for. If he gives us something we can\u2019t handle, we won\u2019t know what to do with it and we will probably hurt ourselves or make a big mess of things.<\/p>\n
Sometimes we ask God for something and it just doesn\u2019t happen. So we continue to ask Him. Sometimes we even become discouraged and start to lose our faith when it doesn\u2019t happen when we think it should.<\/p>\n
There\u2019s usually a good reason why things don\u2019t happen when we think they should. We\u2019re usually not ready for it, and that\u2019s why God hasn\u2019t given it to us. If he gave it to us just because we asked, but we weren\u2019t ready to be able to handle it, we would probably mishandle it or hurt ourselves (or someone else).<\/p>\n
So we need to stop repetitively asking God for the thing that we\u2019ve been asking for and start asking Him what it is that\u2019s keeping it from coming to us.<\/p>\n
Many times it\u2019s us that is the problem.<\/p>\n
