We all start from the beginning, especially with our walk with the Lord. First we need to attend preK class for it is necessary to learn the ABCs of God’s love and how to live for Him. After you’ve properly learned to use scissors and draw shapes you continue your education, you study the Lord’s wisdom and how to live for Him. In school you don’t want to remain in kindergarten and only learn the alphabet and nothing else, you want to be able to read books like “The Chronicles of Narnia” or “Lord of the Rings“. The same concept applies for our education in Scripture. As it says in 1 Corinthians 13:11, “When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave up childish ways.”
As the years pass in our walk in the Lord we should be developing and continuing to grow, not staying stagnant. You need to slip on your spectacles and start learning! Hebrews 5:12-14 says, “For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the basic principals of the oracles of God. You need milk, not solid food, for everyone who lives on milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, since he is a child. But solid food is for the mature, for those who have their powers of discernment trained by constant practice to distinguish good from evil.”
Learning how to cut out being hateful or living in the world, and replacing that with the wisdom of the Lord, you learn to grow in your walk. Though we all start in preK, we shouldn’t be in that class for years! Whether a kid or an adult who is just learning about God, we can start growing at any time. The Lord is waiting to reach us to gain His wisdom, and He is more than willing to supply us with His grace, for all who seek will find.
