1 Peter 2:2
Read this verse in depth with cross-references and study notes
Like newborns instinctively crave milk, believers should hunger for God's Word.
Peter uses the image of a nursing infant to illustrate how we should desire Scripture—naturally, urgently, and consistently. Just as milk nourishes physical growth, God's Word nourishes spiritual growth. The Word is pure, free from contamination, providing exactly what we need for healthy development. Our spiritual appetite reveals our spiritual condition.

Prayer
Lord, give me a deep hunger for Your Word. May I crave it like a newborn craves milk, knowing it brings growth and life. Feed me today. Amen.
