Verses 2-3 of 1 Peter 2 says:
Like newborn infants, long for the pure spiritual milk, that by it you may grow up into salvation— if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is good.
Do I long for God, do i long to spend time with Him, to get into His word? Babies know that they need milk and are dependant on it. I am dependant on God but live as though I'm self-sufficient. When we taste and see that the Lord is good, we want more. The more time I spend with Him in prayer or reading His word, the more I want, the more I recognise my need. I just forget very quickly when I'm out of the habit! I need to recognise that I will shrivel away and die without that pure spiritual milk!
