Constant Use!

Heb 5:11 We have much to say about this, but it is hard to explain because you are slow to learn. In fact, though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you the elementary truths of God’s word all over again. You need milk, not solid food! Anyone who lives on milk, being still an infant, is not acquainted with the teaching about righteousness. But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil.

When I think of putting something to constant use I automatically think of how it is going to wear out. But what the scriptures are talking about here is putting Gods words in actions everyday and making sure that you never stop using them to help others to see his Goodness.
I am aware that God wants to use me for this purpose but there are times when I do not want to eat solid food and want to just drink some milk. Although I am somewhat lactose intolerant I want this to be my life especially when there are hard spiritual decisions to be made.

One of the hardest decisions that our family had to make recently was to remove the television viewing and video game playing to the weekends. OMG was this a hard thing to do but the payoff has been huge. It started off rocky but got better as I am finding a lot of extra time to do schoolwork, help my wife with thing around the house and spend time with each child individually. We did this to get rid of some of the worldly desires that lives in our home and to promote interaction with each other on a spiritual level.

God has done some amazing things in my life and even though I feel like I want to drink milk more than eating solid food It is that later I choose to do more often. I like it that way and so does my family!
